The Beatles are Coming, The Beatles are Coming
This course will be a tour through the rise of the Beatles from Liverpool, England in the 1950's to the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 to Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band in 1967, often considered the greatest album in rock history, to their eventually break up and solo careers. We will consider how their music and attitudes changed American popular culture. We will also explore other artists who exploded at the same time as the Beatles such as The Rolling Stones, The Who, and the Kinks as well as artists from Britain who followed in their paths such as Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Elvis Costello, The Police,and U2.
