The Beatles from A to Zed
Author: Peter Asher
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1250209587
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
“At last, I finally understand the alphabet! I also love this book: secret Beatles knowledge from one of the closest insiders.” —Steve Martin Peter Asher met the Beatles in the spring of 1963, the start of a lifelong association with the band and its members. He had a front-row seat as they elevated pop music into an art form, and he was present at the creation of some of the most iconic music of our times. Asher is also a talented musician in his own right, with a great ear for what was new and fresh. He was asked by Paul McCartney to help start Apple Records; the first artist Asher discovered and signed up was a young American singer-songwriter named James Taylor. Before long he would be not only managing and producing Taylor but also working with Linda Ronstadt, Neil Diamond, Robin Williams, Joni Mitchell, and Cher, among others. The Beatles from A to Zed grows out of his popular radio program “From Me to You” on SiriusXM’s The Beatles Channel, where he shares memories and insights about the Fab Four and their music. Here he weaves his reflections into a whimsical alphabetical journey that focuses not only on songs whose titles start with each letter, but also on recurrent themes in the Beatles’ music, the instruments they played, the innovations they pioneered, the artists who influenced them, the key people in their lives, and the cultural events of the time. Few can match Peter Asher for his fresh and personal perspective on the Beatles. And no one is a more congenial and entertaining guide to their music.

The Beatles with Lacan
Author: Henry Sullivan

ISBN: 9781622490707
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
A real breakthrough in terms of applying a theoretical protocol to biographical material has come with Henry W. Sullivan’s unpromisingly titled The Beatles With Lacan: Rock’n’Roll as Requiem for the Modern Age. Sullivan provides an excellent analysis of the Beatles’ career – perhaps, along with Ian MacDonald’s Revolution in the Head (Fourth Estate, 1994), the best so far available. But in using the work of Lacan, Sullivan offers a psychoanalytic framework to discuss personality and creativity. He also provides a provocative analysis of the roots of rock’n’roll, arguing that the paternal guard of the time, born in the first two decades of the twentieth century, were traumatized on a subconscious level by the mistakes of their parents and, in losing respect for them, turned a blind eye to, and as a result tacitly supported, the flaunting of moral codes by their own sons and daughters in the 1950s and 1960s ‘without having been placed under any real obligation to do so’ [p. 13]. It is out of this that the Beatles’ individual biographies are discussed. Furthermore, Sullivan argues that what gives the Beatles and their music their real distinction is their location, temporally, between the modern and the postmodern world views. The albums ‘between Rubber Soul in 1965 and Abbey Road in 1969 constitute ... the first popular post-Modern classic’ [p. 172]. This is an innovative though never obtuse piece of writing, and stands as the first real attempt to theorize the Beatles’ life and work. The Year’s Work in Critical and Cultural Theory covering the year 1995 (vol. 5, section 14, pp. 196-97) by the young British film score composer David Buckley

Fandom and the Beatles

Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
More than 50 years after their breakup, the Beatles are still attracting fans from various generations, all while retaining their original fan base from the 1960s. Why have those first-generation fans continued following the Beatles and are now introducing their grandchildren to the group? Why are current teens affected by the band's music? And perhaps most importantly, how and why do the Beatles continue to resonate with successive generations? Unlike other bands of their era, the Beatles seem permanently frozen in time, having never descended into "nostalgia act" territory. Instead, even after the announcement of the band's breakup in 1970, the group has maintained its cultural and musical relevance. Their timeless quality appeals to younger generations while maintaining the loyalty of older fans. While the Beatles indeed represent a specific time period, their music and words address issues as meaningful today as they were during the Summer of Love: politics, war, sex, drugs, art, and creative liberation. As the first anthology to assess the nature of fan response and the band's enduring appeal, Fandom and the Beatles: The Act You've Known for All These Years defines and explores these unique qualities and the key ways in which this particular pop fusion has inspired such loyalty and multigenerational popularity.
