Get the new book "Beatles Rewind": https://amzn.to/4dZdSpr Listen to the audiobook on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5J4LHILtMfo Did you know that half of the history lessons you had in school were fabrications, misinterpretations, propaganda, or just plain lies? Well, maybe not half, but it was a lot. Judging from the meager time I was awake in high school, I can assure you that most history teachers aren’t only boring, they’re clueless. And some eggheads agree with me: in his bestselling book Lies My Teacher Told Me , sociologist James W. Loewen makes a convincing case that American history textbooks are mostly sappy fiction dressed up in a blue blazer and a knit tie. Beatles history works the same way. A few “experts” lay down the law, even though they’re dead wrong half the time. Then, the lie travels halfway around the world before you can slip on your Beatles boots. Then the bullcrap gets repeated so often, the lie becomes the “truth.” Enter Erin Torkelson Weber (no relation). Her book The Beatles and the Historians: An Analysis of Writings About the Fab Four is a stone-cold milestone for anyone who takes Beatles scholarship seriously. Instead of just retelling the band’s story from Liverpool to the rooftop, Weber does something way more interesting—she dissects the people who wrote the history.
