The Beatles are yesterday's news. This book, maybe intentionally, made that clear. It's a collection of sound bites and essays that tries to forward the firsthand impression of the Beatles arriving in the U.S and what it meant to the locals. I liked some of the entries but no way does this book deserve 4.12 stars. I don't know why, but all non fiction is insanely overrated here. I thought my Beatles fatigue would be marginalized and my clinically dead interest in the Beatles would be galvanized by reading this book, but that didn't happen. I'm rating this book a 3 stars as a sign of respect for the ladies that suffered in their long life...people who just happened to be there back in 1964.
