 MH> Naturally, the Beatle's didn't come up with all the concepts
 MH> themselves... They've always been a product of what was going on around
 MH> them...as all a bands are.
John Lennon, used to laugh and just shake his head, when people used to think
that they invented the world, or music, or rock, or whatever. He said, many
times, that they were in the right place at the right time, and they had
the goods to make it happen until they could do it their way.
But he never thought they were progressive about anything, and the proof is
in their music after they all split.... blaaaahhhh, by comparison.
 MH> You left John Cale off your list.  I think he was one of Brian Eno's
 MH> inspirations if I'm not mistaken.
I'm inclined to believe that the NY scene was a very important part of the
development of music. And the Beatles became very well aware of them, very
early.
