Reading, singing, reading

The Beatles: The Biography
by Bob Spitz

If you have any fond memories of Beatles music at all, and if you have an annoying tendency to get songs stuck in your head, don't read this book!>  Because you'll then have an irresistible urge to get the old Beatles CDs out of the box, or maybe even check them out of the library if you can't find the box, and then there you'll be. All the old songs stuck in your head for days.

Beep beep uh beep-beep, yeah!

I listened to this as an audiobook and it would have been so awesome if they'd done the mixing for me.  Maybe a few songs in between each chapter. Sigh.

While clearly engrossed in his subject matter, Mr. Spitz doesn't overlook his subjects' character flaws.  You get to meet The Beatles as people, not paragons.  Very enjoyable.
