NUMBER 17
If you were called upon to
make a list of world figures
who have influenced our recent
decades greatly, how close to
the top would you rate the Bea
tles? We ask the question quite
seriously.
Not only did these four talent
ed musicians completely rev
olutionize rock-and-roll, but
set the pattern tor youthful be
havior around the globe- In
nocently, we feel sure, they
triggered the change of climate
that amongother things produc
ed hippies.
Some might argue that the
young Britishers, by accident
or Intent, simply came along at
the opportune time and made
the most of it. Actually, it is
more accurate to say that they
created the setting, and used
it as a springboard to astound
ing fame and fortune.
Here in New Bern, as else
where, Beatlemania caught on
quickly. The younger genera
tion liked the way they did their
thing, and proved it by buying
thousands of their recordings.
No teenager would have dar
ed admit that he or she didn’t
dig this sort of music.
What the Beatles achieved so
sensationally, kids everywhere
dreamed of duplicating. Imitat
ing groups swarmed in such
profusion that a dozen hives of
bees on the loose couldn’t chal
lenge the spectacle.
Guitar makers, who had done
rather well when Elvis Pres
ley kindled his own craze some
years earlier, found it neces
sary to guard against hernias
toting their Beatle-lnspired
profits to the bank.
Unlike Elvisapers,whofound
it difficult to match his magic
by singing in his fashion and
mastering his pelvic gyrations,
a goodly number of the Beetle
type groups made it big, and
are still making it big.
It has been a vastly different
world since the Beatles came
along to fill huge stadiums with
screaming teenie-boppers, and
whether you like it, or the Bea
tles, it will conUnue tobeadlf-
ferent world for heaven knows
how long.
