Comments on: It's 2007 And The Beatles Still Matter

Hard To Believe, But Four Decades Have Passed Since The Beatles' Groundbreaking Album "Sgt. Pepper"

[e001009]

The music of the Beatles did more than define a generation; it set a standard of excellence in popular music unmatched by any artisr since. I feel privileged to have grown up with their music as the soundtrack to my youth.

I agree with all the above comments about Bill Flanagan's Beatles piece this morning and Bill's great talent for providing such good commentaries. It was great. I always look forward to Bill's pieces on Sunday Morning. I would like to see the video of it again and wish I had taped it for future viewing.
Thanks Bill for the Beatles piece today and for all your Sunday Morning segments.

For me, Sunday Morning is that lifelong, weekly moment when I am once again with a handful of friends who are bright, informed, and involved in life. I work not to miss it.

CBS Sunday Morning continues to be a remarkable exception from TV news of car accidents, crime and inconsequential celebrities.

And Sunday often surprises and delights, with pieces like the Beatles story by Bill Flanagan. His is one of the best-written, best-structured stories Sunday Morning has aired.

Thanks. Again.

Thanks Bill for a great tribute to the Beatles
music and a walk down memory lane for me.
I can't wait for the movie, "Across the
Universe". Once again thank you for the
wonderful job you did in your piece. I
always enjoy your commentaries and I also,
enjoy your music selections.

Peace, Sherri

Classic Rock Is Not Ancient

The music of today I don't get. I was born in March of 1972 so I am older than Generation X/Y but still younger than the baby boomers. Today's youth are listening to music that reflects them not me. I grew up with the Beatles, then Pink Floyd, then Led Zeppelin, then U2, then REM, and when I graduated from high school, I was getting into The Cranberries. Kelly Clarkson was a kid in the early 1990s when Dolores O'Riordan debuted with her group. She definitely has an amazing voice. Her new solo album is now available and it is so wonderful to listen to. The song "When we we were young," reflects my life so well. I am not the 19 year old young man with so many hopes and dreams that I used to be.

Who says Classic Rock is old and ancient? I don't! The music may have been recorded/performed at an earlier time but they are still relevant. Let me know in 20 years if Kelly Clarkson is still as relevant as the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Cranberries, Neil Young, etc. My prediction is she will be around 5 more years and then fade away or she will become an actress. She does have a nice voice but can she keep with it another 20 years? I doubt it. She should learn from Dolores O'Riordan, it's okay to fade away a few years, start a family, and then come back strong.

Long live John, Paul, George, Ringo, Neil, Pink Floyd, Jimi, U2, The Cranberries, REM...

Having grown up listening to the Beatles and the solo careers of each member, this tribute is superburb! Bill Flannigan has a wonderful ability to express the amazing talents of each band member and show us the important contributions of each through out the years. Thanks so much Bill for once again reminding us of the unprecedented talents of the Fab Four!
