?What is the function of rock'n'roll? It's the same as the function of classical music - to make sounds that are appealing to a mass of people and are of some worth.? RIP Sir George Martin (1926-2016)

Great news, thanks!

There are many people in this society who, if you asked them, would even know who Kanye is.

First time I've heard him - only recently - because of Paul.

Rihanna's clearly a global superstar, so she's got nothing to gain.

Well, that's not correct - for instance for the first time ever she's gained my attention on a track of hers.

I do get email notifications but if I don't log in manually each time the forum software will not know I've clicked on the link in the email and will therefore stop sending me any more notifications of new posts...

Exactly...

The most consistent Beatles message via their music was LOVE. Much more powerful than any politics...

Indeed, they did send quite strong messages, even when not so explicit...

Cool, way to go!

Awesome song though, isn't it?

Good point, dappa-macca!
