except Ringo Starr who was a management plant and opportunist put in to sabotage The Beatles from the inside. he supported Brexit and was prominently featured in the Pandora Papers.
fun fact: Back in the USSR only got recorded because at the time they managed to kick Ringo out for a short period of time
They Made great agitprop classics like “Revolution”.
You mean the song that literally puts Mao is the same category as racists and warhawks? Beatles are shit libs at best.
But if you want money for people with minds that hate, All I can tell you is, brother, you have to wait
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao. You ain’t going to make it with anyone anyhow
Beatles delenda est est.
Can we please get a bot that auto-responds when someone has a post with The Beatles or Beatles with the copypasta.
the Beatles fucking suck
Death to America
the beatles music sounds lovely to my ears. ringo is a great drummer. they were not all very good or remotely radical people in their politics. maybe george harrison is the exception. gotta be honest and say I could not care less. idc who likes or does not like 2 barely alive and 2 very not alive brits. but please dont think you are brave for hating the beatles. its very silly innit
That’s cool, listen to whatever you like. I listen to lots of country.
That said, the beatles absolutely played a role in allowing the white “left” to retreat into academia and art instead of engaging with the black power movement that was actually doing shit and getting murdered for it.
Edit: Sorry - Hexbear put your reply in my alerts. I thought you were responding to me. :mystery-emote:
you’re good! I do think that’s a solid point and I certainly think it’s worthwhile to investigate the relationship between art and politics. I just remember back in high school people saying they hated the beatles like they were saying workers of the world unite or something. it just gets exhausting to hear the same conversation played out a million times.
Maxwell’s Silver Hammer … and Silver Sickle!
