Wait, they were complaining about the main character being Gay? I thought what was supposed to be so archetypically 1960s was the world changing, up to and including attitudes towards Queers.
The thing KT mentioned about him not actually making it to Woodstock sounds interesting. I mean, that sounds more believable - rather than someone making it to the big gigantic critical event, someone who kinda sorta is around for it without being in the middle of it. That sounds pretty cool.
I really like the Beatles. I rate them as more influential and talented than Pink Floyd, Nirvana, or the Ramones, if that gives you an idea of where I stand on 'em. You know the story behind Paperback Writer, right? It was this dare from George, to Paul, to write a song about something other than girls.
