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...

Bill,

Me, too, I still have some of my old 33 and 1/3 LPs and they are even better than the digitalized stuff, which needs a shot of digitalis to revive it--HaHa. I saw them play at the old Comiskey Park on their 2nd trip to Chicago. Great memories! Yeah, yeah, yeah!

When it comes to the Beatles I suffer from Beatlemania. Yeah, yeah, yeah Joe, I have them all on vinyl + all the Lennon records. But what a lucky devil you were to see them live...Bill, I agree, they made history. (And don't forget the White Album and the first music video clip ever, "Strawberry Fields", and "All you need is love" on the first worldwide satelite program "Our World" and and and... IMO Beatles 4ever!)
