The Beatles are, by now, bigger than rock and roll. They had taken all that rock and roll had to offer and fed it back to us in their own way. Now they were growing beyond that, going further. But how much further? Lennon would shortly proclaim The Beatles “more popular than Jesus,” and sing, “Love is all and love everyone. / It is knowing, it is knowing.”
Like the creature erupting from the astronaut’s breast in Alien, like a mammoth ocean liner released from its moorings, we (the “love generation,” later to be demoted to the “me generation”) were launched.
