Quincy Jones Interview

Clickbaits from interviews are very popular these days and I’m sure Quincy said fairly innocuous things for most of this one but the 3 or 4 that would elicit OMGs were pushed forward as being the most important ones he said. Sort of like sitting at Thanksgiving dinner only focusing on the 2 or 3 tasteless comments your drunken uncle spews out over the dessert...

minori, "for the record:"

"The Beatles were not very good musicians. That is a fact."

You also said it is "well-documented" that the Beatles were not good musicians.  Could you give us five or ten examples of this "documentation?" 

Also, while you're at it, please explain how such bad musicians produced the likes Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane and Something (which Sinatra said was the most beautiful love ballad ever written)? 

Just dumb luck I guess--over and over and over for 8 or 10 years.

Ok since we are talking Beatles. What about Lennon’s violent behaviour towards women? Did he get that from his Dad? And how did the Beatles manage to hide this ugly aspect and maintain their image and fan base. I guess personal life was much more hidden from the public in those days.

Must we?
