Are the Beatles still alive in a way that truly matters? While the band itself ceased to exist in its original form over five decades ago, the legacy of the Fab Four lives on, and two of its members continue to shape the musical landscape today.
Sixty-two years have passed since the release of "Please Please Me," the debut album that launched the English rock band, The Beatles, into the stratosphere. The world was irrevocably changed by their music, their personalities, and their cultural impact. The band's story, however, is not without its share of heartbreak; it formally dissolved in 1970, a period of significant change after John Lennon informed his bandmates of his departure.
As of November 2, 2023, the Beatles, as a collective entity, exist only in the echoes of their recorded music, in the memories of their fans, and, most tangibly, in the lives of the two surviving members, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr. "Now and Then," often referred to as "the last" Beatles song, a testament to the timelessness of their music. Its a poignant reminder of the enduring power of their artistry.
