The Entertainment know-it-alls
This week's Episode we compare how The Beatles vs Rolling Stones is the most famous rivalry in rock history — and also one of the most misunderstood. The standard framing is good boys vs bad boys, pop vs rock, Liverpool working class vs London middle class. But nearly every element of that framing is either backwards or manufactured. The Beatles came from rougher backgrounds than the Stones. Both images were deliberate constructions by their managers. The rivalry was largely a media creation, and the two bands were close friends who admired, influenced, and helped each other throughout the 1960s.
