Epilog:
No 20th century musical group or individual has sustained a greater impact on the world
than the four lads with working class backgrounds from Liverpool, England. Now more than
41 years after they first played together in the Cavern on August 22, 1962, they are
affectionately remembered not only for their musical contributions but for their charm,
wit and charisma. The Beatles remain unparalleled, unequalled, unmatched. They are quick
to credit such legendary greats as Roy Orbison, Buddy Holly and Elvis Presley for their
influence, but The Beatles have inspired countless more than any of those heroes ever
dreamed. The world is changed. The world is still fascinated, even intoxicated with
Beatlemania. The press still chronicles every word. Cameras record their every move. Hair
styles, clothing, art, merchandising, packaging, and recording techniques all tilted a
generation and continues to inspire a new collection of fans born after The Beatles
exploded on the popular music scene. John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and
Ringo Starr together left a gift and legacy of matchless influence. The
"breakup" and subsequent deaths of John and George could not retard the
superlative momentum they had set in motion. Their music, said to have split a gap between
generations, now ironically bridges that gap. Hence, this site is dedicated in preserving
the memories The Beatles gave to each of us and to humbly attempt to present their
accomplishments.
