point four basically makes no sense. Although the beatles were basically a mainstream pop band, they did write about meaningful things. Death, drugs (yes a lot of their songs were actually about drugs, just with codes in their lyrics because at the time the beatles came out, drugs were way more underground than when the stones came out), among those, the death of the monarchy and church in britain, alot of their songs are extremely deep, you're just not listening close enough, the meaning is there, but it's expressed through metaphors.
