We despair about living in England. Out of every country in the world, we are the only nation that takes pride in former glories and absolutely nothing else. We’ve got nothing to look forward to. Nothing.
And when it comes to music, no band takes our regressive national pride to stalker-levels like The Beatles. It's an actual fact that people in Liverpool aren't christened in holy water. Instead, melted down Beatles records are used to make sure any young child gets a proper passage into the world we live in.
Even though the fab four haven't made a record for decades (seriously! What’s George Harrison up to these days? Nothing. Lazy oaf!) it hasn't stopped rock n? roll granddad Paul McCartney from muscling in with his ideas on how an ageing band with no relevance on modern music can help creating an exciting opening Olympic ceremony. Where’s Mark Chapman when you need him?
