Had a crazy thought. Total speculation but I can't help and wonder. First off, I know the time the Beatles had was their time and it was meant to be when it all happened.
But suppose that John, Paul, George and Ringo weren't born until the years 2000 and 2003. Same birthdays and went through the same childhood experiences. Lets say they all had musical aspirations and met up at the ages they originally did way back when and got together.
Of course, life is very different in the 2000's than it was in the 1940's and in the 1950's and it's safe to say that some things make life more comfortable now than it was back then. They also would have been influenced greatly by the surroundings and the sounds of the 2000's. But lets say they all had the same talents.
I doubt we would have heard a new song called "She Loves You" or any of what we know. And it's safe to say they would be an entirely different kind of group that writes very different songs. But would they be just as catchy? And I doubt "Beatlemainia" would happen now because they were so new, so uniqe and so different when they came about. But I wonder it they would make any kind of a splash in todays world at all? Would they now be playing those 8 hour nights in Hamburg? I don't even know if anything remotley close to that scene excists today.
I wonder. Same people but they all came about 60 years later than they did and formed a band.

I recall literally wearing out my 45 of "The Immigrant Song" / "Hey, Hey, What Can I Do?", but managed to keep my grades up (school was too easy for me).
