Bio
This is the Wordpress home for my Tumblr Blog ----- http://beyondthemainstreambeatles.tumblr.com -----
I'm an ardent fan of the Beatles (together and solo) with a deep interest in their music, history, and interpersonal dynamics. Many narratives and tropes about the Beatles, their lives, and their loves persist: narratives that are either untrue or simply oversimplified and left unexamined. I find that fact unsettling and unsatisfying. My wish is for fans and Beatles historians alike to begin looking beyond the mainstream narratives in Beatle lore, and examine their unique story through an alternative filter, a filter which applies even-handed empathy and emotional intelligence as well as the analytical stuff (I believe since the Beatles are/were artists, and art is inherently emotional, we can have reasoned analysis with emotional intelligence). The main goal of my blog is to take a deeper look at these people's lives, loves, and music. I'll treat this as a bit of an archive, so relevant posts will be re-blogged or shared from other resources as well.
