JUST PUBLISHED - JOHN'S NEW BOOK
AVAILABLE HERE
The Closest Thing in History explores the surprising similarities
that exist between the biggest band in music – The Beatles –
and another fab four – the Younger Romantic poets Keats,
Byron, Leigh Hunt and Shelley – who were responsible for
shaking up the cultural zeitgeist in the early nineteenth century.
Both drew on inspirational figures who then turned on them,
(that's William Wordsworth and Elvis Presley!),
Lord Byron generated an early form of Beatlemania,
and both had interlocking creative relationships that yield
genuine insights when placed side by side.
And then, as we can trace the actual impact of the Younger Romantics
on history there is the chance to consider - if the comparison between
them has been accepted - how the Beatles' afterlife could unfold.
A fascinating must-read for all those with a
passion for music, poetry and cultural rebels!
