You do know he would have been right-of-center by today's standards, right?

He was leaning far more right the last 7-8 years of his life. He loved America.

love the Stones, but they wouldn't be around if not for the Beatles. Mick has said as much numerous times.


Well none of it would be around without Chuck Berry, Elvis, Little Richard and Buddy Holly. So not sure what your point is.

This is 100% fact.

Little Richard doesn't get near the credit that he deserves. He basically invented the genre.

no he did not

Bill Haley cut R&R in 1952

Elvis began recording in 1954, a year before "Tutti Frutti"

Well, you should have kept your mouth shut.

Better to let people think you're an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Keith says the Beatles suck


Straight from Pete Townshends mouth:

quote:

He continued: “Actually, this afternoon, John [Entwistle] and I were listening to a stereo LP of The Beatles — in which the voices come out of the one side, and the backing track comes out of the other. When you actually hear the backing tracks of The Beatles without their voices, they’re flippin’ lousy.”


quote:

In 1982, Townshend took a more subtle swing at The Beatles during an interview with Rolling Stone. Paul McCartney’s Tug of War arose in conversation, and the interview says it has “virtually nothing to do with rock & roll“. In response, Townshend’s bluntly asks if McCartney “ever really had anything to do with rock?”.

“No, he never did,” Townshend immediately replied to his own question in a blink of an eye. “You know, I could sit down and have a conversation with Paul about rock & roll, and we’d be talking about two different things,” he added.

Richard was already doing clubs in and around Macon/Central Georgia with his style of music way starting in the late 40's.

he wasn't good enough to play it

I don’t think that’s true at all. I think he just wanted his buddy in there to make him feel better and relive some stress. And George was the kind of person to not worry about someone else playing on his song. But George was a pretty great guitar player and could’ve played that solo too IMO.

no one ever claimed they were great players

R&R actually began its decline when people started caring about technical virtuosity instead of feeling
