“Somebody said to me, ‘But the Beatles were anti-materialistic.’ That’s a huge myth. John and I literally used to sit down and say, ‘Now, let’s write a swimming pool.’” by

Paul McCartney (via paulmccartneysexgladiator)

They even covered the track “the best things in life are free, but you can give them to the birds and bees. I need money (that’s what I want)”

The Beatles were, of course, of working class background and the working class is generally pretty aware that you DO need money to get on in the world. 

PS Generally I try to stay away from making pronouncements on the Working Classes, as I am not a member of it, but this is the opinion of my father who pulled himself out of the working class.

Mitt Romney spent over 800 Million not to become president. I spent no money for the same result. Who’s the better businessman?
