“The last song recorded for Abbey Road was Lennon’s BECAUSE - a three-part harmony in C sharp minor inspired by hearing Yoko Ono play the Adagio sostenuto of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 14, Op. 27 No. 2 (Moonlight).”
Ian MacDonald, Revolution in the Head: The Beatles' Records and the Sixties

“The crucial thing that died with the rise of the instantaneous/simultaneous outlook was development: development of theme and idea, of feeling and thought, of story and character. Just as post-religious life has seen a rapid dwindling of interest in the process of growing older and wiser, so art has drifted up to the surface, forsaking progress for process, consequence for multifocal chaos, meaning for maximum impact”
Ian MacDonald, Revolution in the Head: The Beatles' Records and the Sixties

“At its height, this tumult divided America against itself more violently than at any time since the Civil War and came within a whisker of sweeping the French government out of office; yet its actual achievements were meagre: a few curriculum changes and some minor additions to civil rights legislation.”
Ian MacDonald, Revolution in the Head: The Beatles' Records and the Sixties
