 Perspectives - The Beatles

For Tour:

Young people were usually the people who were majorly interested in The Beatles. Mainly young girls, most probably because The Beatles were a boy band. Not only that but they also liked the fact. That The Beatles were also trying to normalize relationships and drugs things like that. The youth enjoyed their music and they liked the lyrics, even more, they could relate to them. This gave them the chance to express themselves and be free from their parent's rules and restrictions. Regarding the specific song, ¨She´s a Mod¨ from interviews the youth had mentioned. That they felt they had suddenly been liberated from their parents, oh which where they had also believed. They were the only ones who were able to enjoy themselves properly, this was their reason. 

Against Tour:

The people who were against the tour were the older generation like the adults or grandparents. They didn´t like this because they were raised in a different environment and were influenced by the depression from the war. Their music was soft and I guess you would say in a minor key. This was considered boring to the youth, the parents didn´t like the fact that the kids were getting obsessed. The older generation also thought that The Beatles were leading their kids to sin. Sometimes because of all the disappointment, families would be separated.
