From recollection and contemporary accounts the Beatles' primary fanbase was - at first - teenagers of the female kind. As their popularity grew the Fabs' audience extended to include older people, charmed by that Liverpudlian insouciance and cheerful demeanour.

This popularity among adults receded somewhat when the Beatles became 'edgier' and were seen to embrace narcotics, bushy haircuts and progressive politics. For example, my father liked the Beatles until - the final straw - Lennon repainted his Rolls Royce in a flower-power stylee.

'That's just vandalism,' opined my Pa and scorned them from that day forward.

Not a bad commentary. However,in retrospect The Beatles political and social statements were tame compared to the likes of Dylan or Crosby Stills and Nash. "All You Need Is Love" is pretty broad.
