Summary: Again?
Review: What we have here is yet another Beatles fan trying to show off what he knows about their songs, and attempting to "explain" it all. If more accurate histories are to be trusted, the Beatles themselves, particularly their prime movers, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, didn't have a great deal in mind when they wrote these songs. Nevertheless, far too many authors, including this one, have churned out volumes of "explanation and interpretation" of Beatles songs, what they really mean, how they reflect the 1960s social and political scene, and so on. The last thing we needed was another one, particularly by an author who, despite his credentials as a classical music writer, is strictly another amateur Beatlemaniac posing as an authority. Betty Mitchell
