What did Epstein do to get The Beatles on over the top? He put them in suits...
Also, when you're trying to introduce something new, you have to do it in small increments. The Beatles wore suits to look respectable. People already freaked about how "long" their hair was. lol. Just imagine trying to sell a more "far out" look at the beginning. It wouldn't have flown. It was a gradual process to sell the drug culture to split & control society (imo).
Yeah, plenty of bands never make it, but how much of that is lack of putting out the tunes that people want to hear, or failure to conform to the industries desires.
This is what I think might be the situation w/ one hit wonders. They get picked, have a hit, but then refuse to play the game, thinking that they're big shots & can get another label. Only too late they find out that all the labels are controlled by the same people. Ooops.
If Paul is Paul, I wonder what he thinks about this conspiracy.
When he was asked about the most unusual rumor about himself, he couldn't think of one. I think I would remember a rumor sweeping the world that I had died. Something just doesn't ring true. Maybe he doesn't want to remind people about the "rumor." At 2:48:
