In this discussion, Dr. Duncan Driver (SATB
205, Fab4ConJam, One Sweet Dream podcast)
springboard off of the title Paul McCartney quote, in which he
asserted that each Beatle was as important as another
to the group’s success. We explore the shifting power dynamics
within the group and the question of leadership; we also discuss
Duncan’s thesis of the four distinctive elements of the
Beatles collective identity: live performers – singles makers –
album makers – songwriters.
