Poppycock. The Beatles are the exception. While their music may have
been rejected by the older generation at the time, it was later embraced
by people of all ages. I was first exposed to the Beatles in 1964, 46
years ago. Hardly a day goes by that I don't hear Beatle music played on
the radio or in malls and restaurants. I was a teen when they were in
their heyday. My son was born more than a decade after they broke up,
and he likes their music. Unlike most other performers, the Beatles
have endured, and is the majority of the body of their work that has
survived, not just one or two hit singles.
