The Gospel According To The Beatles

This book is definitely proving to be good. It helps me love the Beatles much more than I already did.

The first few chapters have focused on the whole John Lennon stating the Beatles are more famous that God thing. That was a little boring, but interesting all the same. I didn't think there was so much someone could talk about one subject, but it is pretty interesting, and a pretty bold statement for one person to make.

I'm now moving into a discussion of how they became the Bealtes and the way that they came up with their unique sound. Before they actually formed the Beatles, John, Paul, and George were in a skiff band, which is like, a rock form of jazz. They then turned into the band we love today, except with a different drummer besides Ringo who joined later.

I can't wait to move onto a discussion of the songs themselves, and the drugs, that will be interesting. More to come later :P
