Nice artticle, nimrod!

"That same weekend, across New York state in a Buffalo suburb, my friend Lauri overheard some kids of middle-school age chattering about music they were discovering on TikTok: “Did you hear that one, ‘I heard some news today oh boy’?”  I think that is simply fantastic.  :)

I do get a little frustrated with pieces that speculate on the Beatles' enduring legacy. I simply enjoy it.

Great article and it accords with what I see with my youngest who is still in high school.

Fun but too short of an article.  The Beatles had universal appeal.  That's a quality about them that has always mystified me.  A definitive or singular answer or explanation seems maddingly elusive.  Even the cover photo of them is mesmerizing.  I mean just seeing them together in a group photo felt awe inspiring.
