I'm talking about how the Beatles were vastly overrated & vastly mediocre. The only reason they're so revered is because they were in the right place at the right time. Had they come around a year earlier or a year later, they'd've been forgotten in the same breath as Moby Grape, Strawberry Alarmclock & the Fugs.
Look, it's not like it's a huge thing. Happens all the time. I love Nirvana, but even I know that they weren't that talented. They were just in the right place at the right time.

Wether the Beatles were 'overrated and mediocre' is your opinion. Wasn't too big a fan of them myself, but that doesn't mean I go around 'clapping' when one of 'm (or for that matter, any member of any band) kicks the bucket.

Death ain't something to be sad about, Tim. I'm just tired of the vast Boomer masturbational juggernaut that is the Beatles. Everytime I turn around, there's something about these fucks. No one cares anymore. Just die.

Well, all I can say is that I have great appreciation for the Beatles' music and I am quite saddened. And Shik, you are quite rude and very inappropriate to be saying such things about a man who has died at such a young age, and who will forever be known as part of a virtual legend in music history. I for one am not amused by your statements.
Sorry for contributing to "the Boomer masturbational juggernaut that is the Beatles."
