Jerry-
	I've snipped a lot of your post to save some bandwidth and just to give
the gist of what you said. I'm 45, 46 in a few weeks, I was there too. I
won't deny the Beatles were enormously influential.
	But to me, then and now, they were, and are, hamburger. Not even ground
chuck roast. The longer I listen, the more embarrassing their stuff sounds,
and the Who stuff just keeps sounding better.
	Not to trash the Beatles, if you like them better, fine, no problem. But
not all of us ancient ones share your opinion.
