What's that old saying-something like "the Beatles come to play your town and the Stones to wreck it?"

Bill,

While the Stones have had lasting power because they stayed together, their music never "evolved" like to Beatles' music did--which made the Beatles more lasting in the impression they have had on music in general. Lennon and McCartney were geniuses. So, I liked your quip.

Joe: I agree. Speaking for myself during the time of the Beatles music-the 60's-each new Beatles album ushered in a new era-especially the Sgt. Pepper LP. Do you know what I'm referring to? No Stones release ever had that impact on me. They were the trend-setters in other ways too. It wasn't the Stones that led me to go from having a brush-cut hair cut in 1964 to a "mop top"- it was the Beatles. I could go on and on...
