Has this new idolatry of the Beatles gone too far?

Yes, I think it probably has.

The speaker is Ian Leslie, author of John & Paul: A Love Story in Songs.

To be fair, as football managers say, just before this he and the other contributors do set out why the career of the Beatles makes such a compelling story. 

It didn't last long, the group had the same four members all the way through and, because they broke up early, we still think of them as young and at the peak of their powers - there was no slightly disappointing 1973 album.
