    Before I watch this, I'm going to say, if the Beatles don't get any kind of recognition, I'll quit my blog (ok, not really) but I'll be very disappointed......

    So not only was there no recognition for the Beatles but there wasn't even a mention! lol....With that being said, I thought it was pretty informative, my one complaint being the hip hop portion in part two was really out of nowhere. There was really no need for that part. The Teddy Boy culture has inspired me again but this time I must find a bolo tie! lol

    I was also surprised that there was no mention of the Beatles. Overall imo it was a pretty good and informative series. Glad you liked it!! :)
