Sacred Cows - The Beatles, 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band'
Everyone knows how important The Beatles are. Anyone who doesn’t recognise it is just being contrary. With that, everyone knows about the gigantic cultural impact of ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’.It turned music upside down. Rock musicians looked at it and thought, ‘Wow! There’s life beyond trad rock instruments! We can look beyond the blues as a blueprint!’ It ushered in a new way of thinking for bands – for the first time, they didn’t have to worry about recreating things live. The studio was an adventure playground to be explored. The world was the songwriter’s oyster.

Beatle Ringo encourages us to save water
Ringo Starr formally opened the WaterAid garden at the Chelsea Flower Show and used the opportunity to take a swipe at the water companies who, in failing to fix leaks, allow water to go to waste.The former Beatle who has been associated with WaterAid since 2003 said: "In this country, we take water for granted - the water companies just let it leak away. It’s shameful. In many parts of the world one bucket of clean water can keep a family going for two days."
