Yes, bro, I know you'll be quietly scornful. Nonetheless, my two favorite Beatles appreciations online. I don't know: I just think this one graf by Mim Udovitch just nails it:

. . . they were, quite simply, the happiest people we had ever seen, beyond explanation or resistance. Until technological and security concerns made touring an impossibility after 1966, people used to bring their disabled near-and-dear backstage, as if just the touch or the glance of a Beatle might have restorative powers. It is in this way, quite apart from the historical conditions that enabled Beatlemania as a phenomenon, that they remain forever preserved as an exquisite exception, and one that died without issue. Simply to see them shake their heads and go ''Woo!'' was to feel a jolt of vicarious joy to which there was no adequate response other than succumbing immediately and forever.
