Newsweek review

As a Beatles fan and for any excuse just to mention them on this blog I have included Newsweek's first review on the band. Its funny reading this now but they did not get the love and respect that they would get only years after their first shows. Newsweek once said this about the Fab 4:

"Visually they are a nightmare: tight, dandified, Edwardian-Beatnik suits and great pudding bowls of hair. Musically they are a near-disaster: guitars and drums slamming out a merciless beat that does away with secondary rhythms, harmony, and melody. Their lyrics (punctuated by nutty shouts of "yeah, yeah, yeah!") are a catastrophe, a preposterous farrago of Valentine-card romantic sentiments."

They really didn’t get it at all and especially when they predicted that:

“The odds are that they will fade away, as most adults confidently predict."
