Funny how they called it the "British Invasion"
Some people suggest that "the Beatles" were a product of the Tavistock institute. There isn't much proof for it but the techniques they used to promote Beatles were pretty sophisticated, for example paying a few girls to act hysterically when they got off the plane, then other young girls thinking it was real mimicked the behavior when they went to their concerts, creating a mania. And yes, they first were clean cut and wrote simple songs and were able to slip under the parents radar, and then, once they had a mass following, came out with all this really weird music.
Alan Watt talks about a "musical footprint" which is a musicians style, for example Bob Dylan was easy to identify, you knew he wasn't going to come out with a blistering guitar solo. But the Beatles seemed to spontaneously master various genres or styles, not to mention coming up with a new brand of music that nobody had ever heard before. Ok, they could have been geniuses, but more likely there were genius running the program, and the beatles were just four useful idiots who could play and sing a bit. When you think of all the free promotion they got via television and radio it's hard to believe they were a natural phenomon.
I do like Ringo. He is a professed Christian now, not Catholic but seems like a decent guy.
The only time that Brian had to mount a PR campaign & hire screaming girls was in France. It seems their first appeal there was to the ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖs.
The Tavistock theory is complete bunk. No one was controlling them.
I believe that Ringo was baptised as a Catholic but was not fortunate enough( nor were the others) to be educated as one. I am pretty sure that all four Beatles were baptised as Catholics.

The Beatles initial popularity was a well orchestrated PR stunt. There is a very famous early photo of them which gives the impression that they are being chased and hemmed in by a huge crowd of young girls. In truth, there were very few girls present and the photo was cropped in such a deceptive way it as to give the appearance that there were way more popular they they really were. Also the whole incident of their arrival in America for the first time was staged too. If I'm not mistaken, girls from a local Catholic school were co-oped to scream hysterically as they were disembarking from the airplane. Much to their good luck, Ed Sullivan just happened to be at the airport as they arrived.
I'm not convinced that Tavistock wasn't behind the Beatles. John Lennon himself gave an interview shortly before he was murdered admitting that he had been used as a useful idiot by TPTB.
I think both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones were catapulted into fame by the same PTB for the sole purpose of mind control and manipulation of the young. It was all a controlled social experiment.
Roscoe, I believe you're wrong about the Beatles initially appealing to the homos, it was the Rolling Stones who appealed to that group. The Beatles were groomed to appear as clean cut and wholesome while the Rolling Stones were perceived as being rebellious.
