The End of the Road

Concluding on this research is hard because there is so many interesting things to learn about the Beatles. They have influenced and changed so much more than just these postings, and will forever continue to do so. The things I have learned though, have been many great findings and interesting facts.
Starting from their influence on drugs, I have learned the deeper meaning into their songs and the type of people they really were. They weren't low-life druggies, but interesting and complex humans, spreading their happiness (on drugs) through the world. Their happiness was peaceful and that's all they wanted.
Moving on to their influences on businesss, I learned that the Beatles were really the first huge rock band. They became more famous than anyone had ever been, and they became the music role models for every artist out there. The Beatles were the first for many things in the music industry, setting the base for artists to follow around the world.
Another influence that was researched was that on video games. And we all know what I'm talking about. The Beatles: Rockband. Rockband already was such a huge hit, but when the Bealtes edition debuted, the game boomed and everyone was buying it. Just the simple fact that they are one of the few bands with their own video game, and one that is extremely popular, is incredible. They flipped around the video game world and set the standards even higher.
Hair and fashion was a huge things back in the 60's. And they changed it all. Instigating the hippie style, by shaggy long mop top hair and jean jackets and t-shirts, the Beatles revolutionized the fashion of the world. The more men and were were dying to be like them, the more they were.
The Beatles even affected the USSR. They changed the way that Russians thought, which drove them to rebel against the USSR, adding to the downfall of their government.
Clearly, the Beatles, still the most popular band to this day, have affected the littlest and the biggest things in this world. They influenced almost everybody in some way, whether its drugs or hair. They've influenced Hollywood and New York, having affects on countries and cities. They have been the most worldwide known band and have changed the world piece by piece. Although the actual project is over, and no more work is required, you can be sure that I will continue to research this amazing group of men and learn more about them and understand more how they've changed this world and why they are the most popular group of men to walk this planet.
