Beatleness tells the story of how the Beatles constant presence in the 1960s transformed the childhood and adolescence of millions of American kids and how, through these kids, the Beatles “changed everything.” Based on in-depth fan interviews and insightful analysis, Beatleness presents a revealing, emotional account of growing up immersed in Beatles—from Ed Sullivan to the Apple rooftop—and shows how that experience still impacts all of us today. The book explains the profound feeling of connection baby boomers still feel toward the band and offers a thoroughly fresh approach to the entire Beatles phenomenon.
