Avoid Iceland this coming weekend

No, just the disrespectful tone and implied eagerness to see the deaths of Paul and Ringo.

The Beatles were a band, and a group of musicians. They're not saints, geniuses or any other category that might put them on the towering pedestal that so many people put them on.

I afford them the respect deserved given who they are, rather than the huge inflated worth they're given by some.
 
Poor Ivar. or.. Hvar.. I can't do ascii.

Two down, two to go.
Really? Another Beatle died and I didn't get the memo? Or maybe one came back from the grave?

One doesn't have to put the Beatles on any pedestal to find such statements disrespectful. I know it's the Internet and it's cool to be callous, but jeez.
