Description
- So you think you know everything there is to know about the world's greatest band? Think again.
- Featuring at No. 1 best seller in Rock Music Books on Amazon.com & given 5 stars by Professor Ken Campbell, renowned historian & Beatles author. Review: - * described by him as 'unlike virtually any other book you will read on the Beatles. - The Beatles & their Journey into Beatledom is thoughtful, imaginative, exuberantly written and painstakingly crafted.'
- Review February 2024: '5.0 out of 5 stars - The book gets better the longer you stick with it. Rather like "Revolution in the Head". Having stuck with it I realised how good the book actually is showing the Beatles in the context of their times and beyond those times. A must read for any Beatles fan or student of the 60s and beyond, the lifetime of my generation.'
- Did you know, The Beatles were futuristic prophets who actually wrote about quantum physics & the nature of reality? For example, the Lennon lyric 'nothing is real' is an epithet from Niels Bohr which is often used as a reference to the philosophical implications of quantum physics & how our understanding of reality can be called into question. McCartney wrote Here, there and everywhere, which describes the process of superposition, a core concept of quantum physics, referring to how a particle can exist in multiple states at the same time.
- Beatledom then ultimately is a land where multiple synchronicities collide in an array of unexpected but significant coincidences too numerous to ignore & these are explored through their songs in a way that has never quite been done before in Beatles' studies or scholarship.
- This book is unique in that it provides multiple perspectives on each song in The Beatles' catalog, exploring them through biography, geography, philosophy, sociology, politics, drug culture, & (as mentioned above), even quantum physics. The book offers a fresh and fascinating take on The Beatles' music, & is a great read for fans who are interested in exploring the many layers of meaning & context behind each of their numerous, major songs.
