With each passing decade, the world's most revered band, the Beatles, has become more popular, more influential, more ubiquitous, more beloved, just More. In Dreaming the Beatles, Rob Sheffield brings his singular voice to the most universal pop culture phenomenon in history. The Rolling Stone columnist and bestselling author of Love Is a Mix Tape offers a fresh, unconventional look at the most popular band in history, exploring just what Paul, John, George, and Ringo mean today and why they still matter so intensely to a generation that has never known a world without them. This is not another biography of the band, or an exposé of how they broke up. It isn't a history of their gigs or gear. It's a groundbreaking, unconventional look at the Beatles' astounding story, and the emotional connections we make to their music. Book jacket.
