Rob Sheffield, author of Love Is a Mix Tape and Talking to Girls About Duran Duran, offers an unconventional look at the most popular band in history, the Beatles, exploring what they mean today and why they still matter so intensely to a generation that has never known a world without them. This is not another biography, or a song-by-song analysis , or another exposé about how they broke up. It is a collection of essays telling the story of what this ubiquitous band means to a generation who grew up with the Beatles music on their parents' stereos. What do the Beatles mean today? In his books, Sheffield focuses on the emotional connections we make to music. This time, he focuses on the biggest pop culture phenomenon of all time - The Beatles. The story of how four lads from Liverpool became the world's biggest pop group, then broke up - but then somehow just kept getting bigger. Rob Sheffield is a contributing editor at Rolling Stone |
