Let it be…please

I was a kid when the Beatles were popular. When I was twelve, I got for Christmas both The Beatles’ “Sgt Pepper” and the Rolling Stones “Banquet for the Devil” albums. My father, a devout Christian, took one look at the art on the album covers and angrily said, “This is satanic.”

A few years later, I got the Beatles’ “Magical Mystery Tour” album. I hated the songs so much I took a knife and scratched the vinyl to pieces.

Beatles songs always sounded like evil carnival music to me, like something out of that 1962 horror film “Carnival of Souls.”

Yup. Dad was right. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones are satanic.

“Yellow Submarine” would be a perfect film score for this movie.
