Looney Toons
I don’t know exactly what’s going to fit in here this time. Maybe, since I’ve been reading Goldstein’s Greatest Hits, I can use him to explain why the Beatles broke up — or at least why it doesn’t matter: “In substituting the studio conservatory for an audience, the Beatles have lost crucial rapport and that emptiness at the roots is what makes their new album a monologue.

I don’t know exactly what’s going to fit in here this time. Maybe, since I’ve been reading Goldstein’s Greatest Hits, I can use him to explain why the Beatles broke up — or at least why it doesn’t matter:
“In substituting the studio conservatory for an audience, the Beatles have lost crucial rapport and that emptiness at the roots is what makes their new album a monologue. Nothing is real therein and nothing to get hung about.... What I worship about the Beatles is their forging of rock into what is real.... We still need the Beatles, not as cloistered composers but as companions. And they still need us, to teach them how to be real again.” Obviously that comes from a record review — of Abbey Road? Let It Be? No, Sergeant Pepper. And that’s the reason why the Beatles could break up now, when they’re no longer necessary. They’ve been , superfluous for three years, while everything around them has gotten more essential.
