It's not "evidence against", it's one of the critical points I'm trying to put forward.
There's the whole cultural thing, rock music was banned in many places in those years. They gained a certain notoriety in that respect overseas, they where the most well known pop band when rock music was finally being let off to pre-school, of course there is going to be some kind of sentimentality that people have with that, I get it.
People will inevitably want to look towards the Beatles for answers but in all actuality, within ten years of Sgt Pepper (as this thread is about) rock music had drastically changed, it wasn't quite the child it once was in those days and now barely resembling the 60s.
I bring up the over-analytical attitude people have because I have seriously come across some ****ing ridiculous **** in my Beatles adventures.
