pickAt just under 11 hours I wasn‘t aware this was an abridged audio version of the Beatles Biography. I found it richly detailed and quite informative. As I listened, I realized I knew very little about the four lads from Liverpool. Wow, they were young when Beatlemania was at an all time high. This book gives a definitive look at the rise of the Beatles and shares the stories behind some of their more famous songs & albums. It also bares some 👇🏼
Cinfhen of the uglier sides of John, Paul and Yoko Ono. I was unaware of how consumed John Lennon was with psychedelic drugs. He seemed to be the most temperamental of the four. Audio narration was excellent. #POP22 #AboutABandOrMusicalGroup #NF22 #IAmRockAndRoll #Book2022 #CreateYourOwnPrompt #BookSetInTheDecadeOfYourBirthYear @BarbaraBB @Megabooks @BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft @KarenUK @jenniferw88 @RaeLovesToRead @Laughterhp @Cortg @Riveted_Reader_Melissa 2y
KarenUK I recently watched the new 3 part documentary, Get Back, and that was about 9 hours! It focused entirely on them writing and recording their last album, and was SO fascinating! It was like a fly-on-the-wall study of nuances of human behavior, with all the friendship history, their creative genius, petty rivalries and frustrations etc under a microscope. Really worth watching. 2y
Cinfhen Was it Netflix @KarenUK ? I‘d be curious to watch the documentary. Ultimately It really was a sad story 😔They became more of a phenomenon than a band. Fame is a bitter pill 2y

TrishB John was not the all round good guy that his public persona still comes across as. Hubby loved the documentary that @KarenUK talked about (I found it a bit boring- but in Liverpool we know everything about The Beatles anyway 😁😁). 2y
KarenUK In US I think it‘s Disney+ only…. we signed on just for a month, to watch that and Hamilton! @Cinfhen It was DEFINITELY long, but I couldn‘t tear my eyes away…. @TrishB but is was all new to me! 2y
