They (
The Beatles) did a few things that lots of people liked. Everybody can like them, from grandma singing along to When I'm Sixty-Four to the little girl singing Yellow Submarine. I just think they are either childlike and simple or rather leaden and pompous - one or the other all the time. For me they turned something that was once sexy and raw and had roots, into something that was totally soulless, playground sing-along music.
