Not to upset any fans, but how did The Beatles shift the culture? I have the impression that culture was shifting by itself and The Beatles only lucked into being at right place at the right time.
- jcutrell 13y agoFair comment. I suppose I mean that The Beatles were a large catalyst in shifting culture, in that they mark the beginning of rock and roll and TV-casted, stadium-oriented performance and stardom. More importantly, this was a new wave in massively widespread pop culture that perhaps would have been weaker or absent without them. Let me be clear - I'm not saying they invented or caused the shift. (Which I suppose I said before.) I'm saying they were incredibly influential to pop culture, to a massive degree. (This isn't fanboy talk, so I won't be upset on this thread whatsoever.)
