00:23we do yes we have several albums on vinyl uh you grew up listening you've seen
00:28saw paul mccartney live in 2006 there i mean they are timeless but their music has kind of changed
00:36with uh with generations i feel like it's kind of grown up with our parents and now us um they've
00:43just they've endured yeah it's like one of the first like big rock sensations actually too
00:48but i feel like it all over the globe like you wherever you go everyone knows it not really
00:52i have listened to them in the past but nowadays i just listen to more modern things and also
01:00things that are a bit more edgy than what the beatles were so even when it comes to older
01:05music i'm more about pink floyd than beatles i have like growing up and whatnot yeah um i think they
01:13paved the way for a lot of different music genres i don't know i honestly i think they're
01:18they make great music but it's it's not impressive to me at least from like music that i know of
01:26today
01:26yes sometimes i think they're still popular because their music is timeless not so much the music but
01:36also the messages in the music and i think it reminds people of happy times um actually no i find
01:44them
01:44very fascinating as a cultural phenomenon but i never really listen to their music i saw you know
01:49hearing it on the radio once or twice uh because they're relevant they sing about things that we
01:56care about and or dreams that we want to aspire to i used to a lot like a year ago
02:04but i continue
02:05less but i continue listening five or six songs a lot like hey jude i love the i want to
02:16hold your hand
02:17uh and i don't know really the other songs but these are the two that i listen the most the
02:24new generation
02:25is i think a lot uh focus on the old song and uh i think this this is a group
02:33that is going to be
02:35famous for few decades uh in the future no i'm more into the running stones yeah yeah because i i
02:44feel
02:44the running stones are more it's more about being verbal and um sexier i would say and i i like
02:53this kind
02:53of attitude so i feel it's more electric in this sense as a high school boy in a high school
02:59band we
03:00played the beatles all the time in the 1960s i think i think they are musicians extraordinaire i think
03:06they are really very very good but they were the they were the first of the of the popular bands
03:13that
03:13really got good harmonies and really good songs and had a real public appeal so i think the type of
03:19music they played just kept you know i saw her standing there and and all of those songs before
03:24they got to a hard day's night and sergeant pepper's lonely hearts cup then they captured that early
03:29style of happy really good music
03:31you
