I always thought I might never have heard of a band of John, George, Ringo, and a bass player to be named later. There is no Beatles without Paul.

But if Paul was in the band and John was not, then maybe you just get Wings. Not my favorite band. Some good songs, but way out on the pop end of the continuum.

There’s nothing wrong with pop music, but Lennon was the counterweight that made the Beatles possible. Somebody had to bring some grit, some rock and roll. It’s not too surprising John only ever complimented one of Paul’s songs. Maybe what’s surprising is that they lasted 9 years.

Last weekend I was at my sister’s house and she had the sound track from the Mozart movie on, and I told her it was kind of like 18th century pop music. lol.

The second thought was something that was said about the Beatles not knowing any music theory. A lot of people seem to think that “music theory” are rules that define what you’re allowed to do in music.

I’ve always thought of it the other way round. Music theory is a way of describing what guys like the Beatles are doing.

I am new here. One of the things that reminds me that I’m late to the party is that I keep discovering things.

Like that vid – thanks for posting it.

Interesting thread. Thanks for doing the legwork on this David.

As recently as a few years ago, I was still working in IT, birthing and babysitting websites, and using toys like Google Analytics to take their temperature.

So after seeing this I Googled “YouTube Analytics”. And there it is. GA used to be, and probably still is, the best analytics package around.

I am not a YT channel owner, and only spent a moment looking at the YT Help, so Idk how much of the GA toolbox they’ve exposed to YT, but I would think it would be substantial, since Google makes money when YT channels make money.

I suspect/expect someone at Team MLT is already looking at these numbers. Or they could be.
