Of all the misconceptions that have come to my attention since I first wrote the Good Book, this one is the most ridiculous and - unlike the misconception that the Beatles’ music changed the face of popular music - impossible to prove or disprove either way. That said, by employing the spiritual law of least resistance and allowing the fan to do all the work for you, the method I’ve devised to deal with this particular fallacy is actually the easiest of all to execute: when faced with the misconception that the Beatles’ music changed the world, as is bound to happen at some stage during your fight against Fab Four fundamentalism, simply ask the fan at hand this easy-to-remember, yet difficult to answer question: ‘How?’ Then just sit quietly and wait for the stammering and spluttering to commence.
