Caught Rain last night at the Orpheum. It's a Beatles tribute band that does an incredible job of recreating the music of the Fab Four. Couldn't help thinking as I listened to the lyrics that the Beatles would have a hard time making it today.
No one would bat an eye at the allusions to drugs and sex, but I doubt our corporate masters would allow 'Give Peace a Chance' or 'Imagine' onto the airwaves as new tunes. Yet that's what we need today - more music that challenges people to think.
Really enjoyed the concert, but I left feeling sad at the state of pop music today.
