Tom Dunne's Music & Me: Let It Be is a reminder of Beatles' brilliance
The Beatles, Let It Be.
I remember it so vividly, my older sibling’s distress. The 1970s, instead of ‘teaching the world to sing’ would be teaching it to live without The Beatles. The '70s, saying ‘sing’ when they meant ‘cry'. Our teary faces knew but one culprit, the film, Let It Be.
I grew up with that certainty: If only they hadn’t made that ghastly film. It was the cameras that ruined everything, as they always do. Ever notice that when couples pose for professional ‘look how happy we are’ shots it never ends well? And if there are kids in the shot put an offer on their house now. Hostages to fortune, they are.
