1) One thing I do want to say...glad you enjoy
Love but some people despise it....everybody should remember that
Love is a
soundtrack album. And take it from someone who saw the show twice: it all makes perfect sense and is indeed freakin' brilliant! (And the sound ain't bad, either, as you noted.

)
2) Thing is, though...what do you consider The Beatles' 50th anniversary?? Would it be the first time that George, John, and Paul got together in the group? That would have been around 1958-ish. Do you consider the 50th to be when they first used some kind of variation of the word "beetles"? That would have been prolly around 1960...First professional recording session? 1961. Ringo joining? 1962. Ditto first singles....but with the Beach Boys, it's pretty clear-cut: they recorded their first single and had a hit with it in 1961. A local hit, but a hit nonetheless (and a single that actually placed on
Billboard as well).
I'm jealous you got to see the show! I'll get out to Vegas one of these days to see it.
On the 50th...er, it was something I read on google....looking further into it, the August 2010 '50th' is just the anniversary of the name 'Beatles'....I suppose the definitive anniversary of their first hit single will commemorate it (in about two years).
Back to the
Love album, I find it to be absolutely brilliant....anyone think the Beach Boys would do a similar kind of album?
