E was the epitome of cool in his early days as well as the poster boy for bad taste in the 70's but either way he was great – in entirely different ways! I've always equated the Beatles with the steady downturn in post-war America's optimism and innocence. Historians would say JFK's assassination was what really shattered America's squeaky-clean persona, but to me...it was those damn mop-haired boys from Liverpool!
