Final Essay

I did my project on The Beatles to prove that they were the most influential band of all time. One of the best parts about the project was reading the book "Yeah! Yeah Yeah!" by Bob Spitz. Not only did I learn a lot about The Beatles and their career, I also got to enjoy a great read. Another thing I loved about the project was the interview I got to do. I interviewed a guy named Nathan Wright. He plays in a local band around here. I loved interviewing him because he gave me actual answers instead of reading someone elses information off of the internet and using it.

I learned way more than I thought I would by doing this project. I learned everything from before The Beatles were a band till after they had broken up. I learned how The Beatles met and how they became famous. I learned how crappy their individual lives were before they became famous. I learned why their music is so influential. I also learned that they will continue to be the most influential band of all time. I would definitely say The Beatles are the most influential band of all time.

If I could have done this project differently, there would be a good bit I would have changed. For starters, I would have done my work on time. This is because when I actually did do my work I realized how interesting all this information was. I also would have done my interaction sooner and tried to do something more interesting like go to a concert. I also would have read more on the topic. The last thing i would have done differently is read both books I had gotten front to cover.

"But on the radio, on vinyl and cassette and CD, they became not kids, not a band, not anything like anything else, they were The Beatles. A vastness of talent, of charm, of genius incomprehensible, an ocean like the one the four boys had once looked out on, peering west from the hills of Liverpool. And from them, a flood of song and love and pain and beauty, a flood that cascaded out of the Cavern and Hamburg and London into the world, a flow that pushed aside what had come before and, in the end, nourished," (Spitz 221).
