After all these years, is there anything new to say about the Beatles?
Only if you go straight to the guys who haven't had their full say: the
Beatles themselves and their closest confidants. The Beatles Anthology
has kaleidoscope eyes--and perceptive ones at that.
The book is fascinating on several levels. First, it's delightful eye
candy: there are zillions of casual photos you've never seen, including
cool stuff like the original album cover for Revolver and portraits of
the artists as impossibly young men. Second, despite its massive size,
it's a breezy pleasure to read. The consistently clever and reflective
quotes of the lads Mick Jagger dubbed "the Four-Headed Monster" prove that
they have quite independent points of view. Only John, for instance, would
have tried to convince the others to get their heads trepanned--drilled!--to
release their "inner third eye." (Paul told John to try it first.)
The best thing about the book is that it puts you inside with the boys in the bubble as they blazed through the world like a comet. You are there as teenagers John and Paul sneak off for a "crafty fag [cigarette] in the cemetery," unconsciously absorbing the tombstone names of Father McKenzie and Eleanor Rigby. You hear the first lyrics to the tune that came to Paul in a dream: "Scrambled eggs, oh, my baby, how I love your legs." (Happily, it became "Yesterday.") You're there the day they jammed with Elvis, and the night Bob Dylan turned them on to marijuana. (Paul excitedly jotted down "the message of the universe," and in the morning found he'd scribbled, "THERE ARE SEVEN LEVELS.") You discover that only one of them took LSD in the studio--John, by mistake, thinking they were amphetamines. He nearly stepped off the Abbey Road rooftop to his death while marveling at the stars, cheating us out of "A Day in the Life."
This book captures much of the spontaneity that made the Beatles immortal. Though it also documents the many fights (when George added an answering guitar phrase to Paul's vocal on "Hey Jude," Paul nixed it and sowed trouble), it conveys what kept them together. As Ringo sagely says, "Elvis went downhill because he seemed to have no friends, just a load of sycophants. Whereas with us, individually we all went mad, but the other three always brought us back."
For anyone who ever loved the Beatles, this book will help us all get
back to where we once belonged. (And now Yoko's welcome too.) --Tim Appelo

I took a course in speed reading. Then I got Reader's Digest on microfilm. By the time I got the machine set up, I was done.
I just got out of the hospital. I was in a speed reading accident. I hit a book mark and flew across the room.
