Thanks, Moog. My goal is to be amusing. So if I've succeeded, I am content.
After it became known that the Beatles broke up, John said that the Beatles were just a band, and that their breakup wasn't anything to be upset about.
But the Beatles entered into our culture in a way that turned them into both legends and human Gods. Hence, so many have attributed so much significance to them, their songs, their lives, their lyrics supposedly infused with mysterious meanings which needed to be deciphered for the enlightenment of the masses.
Understand the Beatles, categorize them, and become them in the process. Being on their level - what a magnificent dream. But you're right, Moog, and so was John. They were just a band, that's all. Nothing important really.
By the way, the Book of Revelation is literature to me. There's nothing in it that predicts the end of time. When that time comes, you're not going to look up at the Sky and see figures on horses. I hate to think of how the end will come but a too hot and getting hotter planet is probably our ultimate non-sequitur.
