My iPods collects 128 Beatles songs.
They have cryptic lyrics, but mysteriously beautiful, bringing tears or smiles from the heart. You can't talk when the music is still playing; and have long buried the moment in your heart when the song ended. When the song starts, they all came back up.
Maybe it is a clever musical strung together with Beatles? No, that’s possible only with ABBA. This is Julie Taymor’s interpretations. Nicely done.
She was giddy talking about Paul McCartney at the pre-screening. Oprah joined her like a teenage slumber party girl. "Wow," I thought. "The power of Beatles."
