They are far and away the best band ever. Nobody else is even close. When the Beatles channel on Sirius/XM launched, I put my satellite radio in my car on that channel and hardly moved it for years afterward.

They are in my DNA. The background music to my life.

There’s “before the Beatles”, then there’s “after” the Beatles. However, there’s no after. Beatles are all there forever.
