Do the Beatles give anyone else the creeps?
    #8016747 - 02/13/08 09:32 AM (15 years, 11 months ago)

I enjoy listening to their music by and large, but sometimes I feel like it is intended to brainwash people. Something about them doesn't seem quite human. Like the scene in Electric Kool-Aid when the Pranksters get bad vibes from the Beatles concert, like the music is controlling the masses...sometimes I get that vibe from them. Know what I mean?

In a word no.

Not at all, sir. The only people it controls are the people that feel like they have to listen to The Beatles because they smoke pot or drop acid.

Kind of like the kids that only say they listen to Bob Marley's music to sound cool or whatever in front of their smoking friends.

I think they were consciously trying to influence people during their psychedelic phase but no, it does not bother me since I like the direction they were headed.

I didn't like the Beatles at all until I listened to them on a solid dose of acid and "got" what they were about, so to speak.  I came to the conclusion that they are about Love.  :shrug:  I had to be in an expanded state of mind to appreciate music from such a different era, though. 

In short, I like tripping to them, but I don't usually listen to them much otherwise.

I see what you're getting at.

i was pondering not long ago and came to understand that at a level of my perception, they had colonised the tripping ethic as their own.

kind of.

culturally we are programmed to receive them as a trip. they were cool when i was smoking dope, but on the ingestion of other psychadelics i came to resent the paradigm and needed to break free from its gestalt corpulence

comes down to whats been said: they probably saught to consciously influence through their music at one point, and its not always a boon to assimilate the hive

basically, the ingrained and imaginatory ideas/illusions held within their legacy led to disappointment for me in a psychadelic respect.
though it was a lesson well learnt.

this all said they are still probably mostly about love and not about secret governmental conspiracies devised by satan and the lizard people to rob the one individual of truth for eternity

turn the volume down on that one

They don't give me the creeps, but they may give me the chills when listened at right time.

I wouldn't consider it as brainwashing, but they certainly have some kind of "magic". I have no idea how to define or explain it, but it probably has a lot to do with the narrative of their songs, as well as their personalities (air, water, fire and earth, no? :wink: ). It's very psychological. But no, they don't give me the creeps. The Beatles Anthology DVD set is probably one of my best investments ever :smile2:

Yeah, that was one of the songs I was thinking of when I made this thread.
