Quincy Jones on The Beatles.

Re Ringo:

“Ronnie came in for 15 minutes and tore it up. Ringo comes back and says: ‘George [Martin], can you play it back for me one more time?’

“So George did, and Ringo says: ‘That didn’t sound so bad.’ And I said: ‘Yeah, motherfucker because it ain’t you.’ Great guy, though.”

One might have found better musicians among the students at Eton, much less an average conservatory, anywhere.

Their songs queered every stylistic tradition they touched, or tried to fuse together.

I remember listening to the Beatles, as a young kid. In a year or so, after Dylan, and a lot of other good groups, Kinks, Animals, Who, Byrds, Airplane, Stones, even Paul Revere, etc etc, the Beatles sounded like baby poop.


This is for Boop.
