Stark puts their impact into perspective by revealing both the personal details and the larger events, examining the ways in which the Beatles' own lives were inextricably tied to the cultural, youth, and gender revolutions they helped create and lead during the 1960s. Based on more than a hundred new interviews, this book offers a fresh interpretation of their story, beginning with their childhoods in England and the effect of the deaths of Paul's and John's mothers when they were young. It documents their special bond with women; the central importance of drugs, both for them and the counterculture they led; why their hairstyles set off a revolution; and the conditions that allowed these four to conquer America.--From publisher description. 000307736 61020 $$aBeatles. 000307736 650_0 $$aRock musicians$$zEngland$$vBiography. 000307736 650_0 $$aRock music$$xSocial aspects. 000307736 85200 $$bgen$$hML421.B4$$iS68$$i2006 000307736 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:307736$$pGLOBAL_SET 000307736 980__ $$aBIB 000307736 980__ $$aBOOK 000307736 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
