  • The Beatles and their generation not only shaped the political culture of the sixties, but also embodied values and ideals that inspired a revolutionary change in consciousness for decades to come. Ken’s idea is a thought experiment applying chaos theory to history and exploring the possibility that the Beatles and the revolutionary changes of the sixties emerged out of the chaos created by the breakdown of the established order caused by the collective effects of the First and Second World Wars. The Beatles and their generation not only shaped the political culture of the sixties, but also embodied values and ideals that inspired a revolutionary change in consciousness for decades to come. His talk will link chaos theory with the Beatles as a cultural phenomenon that remains largely inexplicable. Learn more at tedxasburypark...

      Being told how to think about ideas that gain traction and dissuade such thinking is the work of cultural engineers, cultural directors and the human herd masters of many layers of think tanks. "Move along, nothing of interest here". Ideas move humanity on tracks leading to the ""final solution" of the end game of Agenda 21-30.

      @@rootsgrassusa The Beatles began as band named "The Quarrymen" with John Lennon as the leader. When they began they, and all beginner bands were "cover bands". It wasn't until Paul joined the band who introduced John to George Harrison, replacing Pete Best with Ringo Starr at drums that the Beatles began. Their first album did have several "covers" on it such as "Till There Was You" which was from the movie, The Music Man as well as a few R&B songs from America. Paul and John worked together to write songs by bouncing ideas off of each other, feeding each other. In the early years none of the Beatles could read music which makes the story even more incredible!
      This guy is so wrong in most all of his assumptions! It was all about the music! Up to this point in time Rock & Roll was VERY stagnate most songs using the same two or three chords with just changing the melody a bit. Then came; "Please Please Me", "She Loves You", "I Should Have Known Better", "I Saw Her Standing There" and our thirst for this style and type of music went nuts! The vocal harmonies, new chord progressions and even the way the songs were constructed on top of the fact that they were just FUN! There were so many "FIRSTS" with them. First Rock & Roll Band to NOT have a lead person in the bands name, just the name of the band. (Buddy Holly and the Crickets, Bill Haley and the Comets, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis to name a few. Beatles were the first to incorporate a harmonica. Doesn't seem like a big deal now but at the time it really caught our attention! Their music was so different from what others were playing that they did truly change the music industry almost overnight! Mick Jagger of The Rolling Stones saw them and said to his mates that maybe they could learn to write their own songs too, and they did!
