Yup. Nine top-ten hits, including three number-ones. Then four clouds of dust. It's a tragedy, I tell ya. But here's the thing. There's this animated video that my six-year-old son is totally into right now. It has four dark-haired guys in it, who grow humongous white beards and get chased by a bunch of reindeer and a purple dinosaur (hmmm). The song tells the story of an old sailor who lives in his own underwater vessel. Somewhere along the line, the four guys and all their friends get to live in it too. Now, you know how it is with kids -- at some point he's bound to ask, "Daddy, who are those four guys?" They were just a passing fad after all. So what am I supposed to say? Is this a Santa Claus thing? Won't it be something if that ends up being the most well-known Beatles song, assuming it isn't already?
