The Beatles were one of the best musical groups of all time. They were famous throughout the country. But like all good things, it must come to an end. It all started when in 1967, the group’s manager past away. Brian Epstein started managing the group in 1961. He kept the group together and acted as a big brother. But most of all he managed the group well when it came down to money. Because of this event, Paul Mcartney saw the opportunity to become the group ‘s leader. He decided to put the group in a film production that ended up in a disaster. John Lennon criticized Paul Mcartney.
Each member of the group ventured off to different things. John Lennon pursued his interest in Art, which led him to a female artist named Yoko Ono. They fell in love with each other and shared their strong interest in art.
George Harrison was not satisfied with his role in the group and wanted to change it. He believed that he was a good song writer like John and Paul. He hated the fact that he could only write two songs per album and decided to write some of his on pieces of music.
The group wanted a new manager but couldn’t decide on one. Eventually they hired Allen Klein. But he couldn’t solve their problems. Then arguments broke out between the group. Arguments about why songs were dropped from albums, Yoko Ono wasn’t allowed to participate in the groups music and crediting of who was the song creator for a couple of songs. Then John and others claimed the group never broke up, but eventually did. Ending with lawsuits and a lot of drama. The ending result was one of the best Musical groups of all time came to an end.
I liked how you had multiple videos it shows you really worked hard on your blog. I also like how in detail you were about the break up and what started the decline. I think it was interesting to see what each member did after the break up and how their lives were affected.
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of the newspaper clip in the beginning. I agree with Tyler about the videos. This also wants me to find out more information on what each Beatle member really thought when this was going on. I did not know that there first manager died and that really explains why The Beatles began to fall apart. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThis was a great idea to write your blog post about! I too liked how you put the newspaper clip in the beginning of your post. It was a great lead in. The video clips supported your blog post and were really interesting.
ReplyDeleteThis was a really cool topic to write about AJ! I feel like your videos and pictures added a lot to what you had to say! You had a really good way of interesting the readers. The newspaper clip was a great start. I also find myself wanting to learn more about each of the individuals that were such a huge part of a great band!
ReplyDeleteYou are getting better at this, AJ. More links that are NOT wikipedia would give variety, and more detail (such as about the "disastrous" film project) would help.
ReplyDeleteYour topic this week was a great choice! The break up of the Beatles was a global disaster that affected almost everyone. I like how you mentioned each member's reaction to the seperation, it shows that you put work into your writing. However, you definately could have expanded on other aspects of the tension between members such as the power struggle between Paul and John, or the bandmates animosity towards Yoko Ono. Overall, your writing is improving every week so keep it up!
