Have you guys heard "Got to get you into my life" on one of those dumb commercials??

I never thought the Beatles would sell out like that. I know the've held off for a long As s time, but it almost seems like their falling to the standard of most musicians..

Thoughts???

Most of them are dead and Michael Jackson owns their library. I don't understand how they can possibly sell out.
Epstein didn't kill himself.

Um......no?? He sold it back to Paul.

I don't think he did, because in the past few years I heard more than one story that while describing Jackson's financial state mentioned the possibility of him having to sell back the catalogue to make ends meet.

Right, because the Beatles were so anti-commercialism...

Haha, if your anywhere near seattle, go to the EMP and check out the Beatles exhibit. There are so freaking many lunchboxs, gum wrappers, all sorts of really random crap:P

Beatles were like the biggest bestest sellouts ever.

Paul was pretty pissed when M.J. sold the song Revolution to Nike for a shoe ad.

Yeah Beatlemania was insane commercialism, especially earlier Beatles. Kinda slowed down once they got a little more weird.
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite.
