Oh good lord, this is just asinine. As if the Beatles were the first outfit to start on a shoestring and then make it big.
I'm sure there are similar stories about early jazz artists, vaudeville acts, English music hall performers, etc.
- wyclif 16y agoAh, but he didn't say they were the first. The fact that others have used this template only reinforces his point IMO.
- waxman 16y agoHa fair. What's unique about The Beatles is the scale at which they transformed a simple foundation into such an unrivaled commercial and artistic success. Sure, there were earlier versions. But no other act went from shoestring to massive influence in the way that The Beatles did.
- philwelch 16y agoI don't understand your point here.
