Beatleness: How the Beatles and Their Fans Remade the World

Part generational memoir and part cultural history of the sixties, Beatleness allows the reader to experience-again or for the first time-what it was like to grow up with the Beatles and shows the impact of Beatleness as an ever-evolving stimulus in young lives. Based on hundreds of hours of in-depth fan interviews, the book combines original analysis of the Beatles phenomenon with scores of fan vignettes and photographs. Of interest to every fan generation, second and third as well as first, it offers a new understanding of the Beatles’ place in history: how they changed everything, and why they still mean so much to so many.
