"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Good riddance, Beatles.


On this day in 1969, The Beatles mercifully performed in public for the last time on the roof of their Apple Records headquarters in London.

I know that I'm in the minority in my feelings about this band, but I remain in good company ...

The Beatles are not merely awful. They are so unbelievably horrible, so appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the art, that they qualify as crowned heads of anti-music.

William F. Buckley Jr.
