Ha..this comment is soooo ridiculous.  The Beatles had to tone down their 
appearance and sound in order to be accepted.  They were leather all the way 
and played the rawest, loudest music they could  before Brian Epstein 
transformed their image and introduced them to the general public.  Once they 
were accepted, then and only then were groups like The  Stones, The Who, etc. 
 able to break ground.
