My absolute favorite quote about the Beatles: > [@](#): > > The Beatles deceitfully came to America as decent looking young men, but then led a generation of America’s youth to become hippies, drug addicts, rebels, sexual degenerates and God-haters. Four people did all that? ---

Man, that site takes me back to the days when rock music was still considered to be a threat to society.

Billy Bob Biblethump said about the Beatles 30 years ago bother you. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/john-lennon-and-the-beatles/603188.md?page=1)
