I thought your blog post of the Beatles was right on, and I agree with all that was said. I am a huge fan of the Beatles and I’ve always loved their music. I can agree that when you listen to their songs it puts in an uplifting mood, and I can always count on their songs to make me feel better if I’m not in a good mood. Another song that I believe was very influential along with “Hey Jude” was “All You Need is Love.” This song in my opinion shows one of many things that the Beatles stand for. The song is about how if you have some sort of love for other people, or if you have people that love you and care about you then you should be content with your life. Another artist that is similar to the Beatles and I think you should listen to is John Lennon. John Lennon was a part of the Beatles group but also wrote and sang many songs on his own. John Lennon’s type of music is very similar to the Beatles, obviously. But one difference that he had with the Beatles songs is that John Lennon doesn’t have very many upbeat songs, John Lennon was a peace activist so a lot of his songs were influenced by that.
