615 The Beatles “I Want to Hold Your Hand” 1963

The American TV correspondent Alexander Kendrick said the Beatles “‘symbolize the 20th century non-hero, as they make non-music, wear non-haircuts and give non-mersey.” However, Bob Dylan “recalled, ‘Everybody else thought they were for the teenyboppers, that they were gonna pass right away. But it was obvious to me that they had staying power. I knew they were pointing the direction of where music had to go” (Mark Hertsgaard, A Day in the Life: The Music and Artistry of the Beatles, 1995).
