The Eschatological Vision of Sgt. Pepper’s, 50 Years Later

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was an unparalleled musical creation that foretells the New Creation to come.

How refreshing to hear 50 years later that music I treasured and fought for as a teen may just have some redemptive qualities! Growing up as a fundy Baptist in the late'60's and early'70's was no picnic -- all rock music was of the devil, and especially seductive were the Beatles. They (and Dylan) further corrupted the next generation as my kids "stole" my albums, loving the poetry and the musical innovations, making the Beatles their own.

I always instinctively loved this album so much more so than early Beatles songs. Its so nice to know there may be actual musical reasons for this favor of mine. Now I will have to find some Beatles music to see if I can hear some of the musical concepts you addressed along with the spiritual ones !!!
