Fat Old Guy 11 Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 After being taken to task by the morality police for using "TFB," I was surprised to see that so many of you are Beatles fans. For shame! The Beatles were atheists, drug using criminals, involved in casual sex with multiple partners, and just not good role models. Not really an appropriate topic for a Scouting forum.

evmori 11 Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 Maybe so but their music was and is fantastic! And doesn't TFB stand for "Two For Bridge"? Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10 Link to post Share on other sites
purcelce 11 Posted January 1, 2004 Share Posted January 1, 2004 PFFFFBBBBTTTTTT (Rasberries) to the Beatles. The ultimate non-role model has to go to Ozzy. I love the old Black Sabbath tune "Iron Man"!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
evmori 11 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I doubt any of the bands from the 60's & early 70's are good role models. But they did make good music! Ed Mori 1 Peter 4:10 Link to post Share on other sites
purcelce 11 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Pretty much any band is not a good role model. But I'm with on the music side. I AM IRON MAN! Link to post Share on other sites

Well on his way his head in a cloud, The man of a thousand voices talking perfectly loud, But nobody ever hears him Or the sound he appears to make. And he never seems to notice....

berkshirescouter 11 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 I don't think many top music groups made good role models. Even from the 40's or 50's. 'Old blue Eyes' as good as he was had faults. Link to post Share on other sites

evmori 11 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Iron Man could possibly be the worst song ever made. You can make the same noise with two sticks & a garbage can lid! Do away with people blowin' my mind Do away with peoples wastin' my precious time Take me to a simple place Where I can easily wash my face And maybe baby I'll say you were kind No I love you baby Yes I do Link to post Share on other sites

le Voyageur 72 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Never cared for the Beetles, FOG Well, with a Blue Moon rising, gotta head Downtown for some American Pie, or it'll be the Chain Gang for me. Anybody got fare for a Taxi, hey.... Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzy Bear 12 Posted January 2, 2004 Share Posted January 2, 2004 Did you know that Paul was a Scout? The Beatles by comparison with most of the Rap music of today would be considered boy scouts. So does that give them a higher morality? The Oneida religious community believed in free love long before the Beatles, so The Boys should have been worse off because of the rule of social entropy. Maybe we have yet to hit the bottom of the moral garbage can. It is just a slow spiral, much like a flush. One of their songs was about a long and winding road. They may have been thinking about Scouting or hiking or The Ring Trilogy, who knows? Some of their songs were considered to be a part of the moral conscious of a new generation. If it was a new morality, then would it be acceptable to listen? Elvis could only shake half of his body on TV and he proclaimed to be religious but he was not a Boy Scout. Are religious people more moral than Scouts? If they are, then Elvis was more moral than everyone and they should have put the rest of him on the tube. Elvis died a death by overdoing it and he is considered a saint by many. Let's ban him too for good measure but do it quietly. Now, I am really shook up. Remember, John saying that the Beatles were greater than Jesus? He later said that he was only kidding or trying to make some late night comparison by shooting off his mouth. We can now have a Beatle album burning, especially since so few of us have turntables. Sorry, for some reason, I can't seem to find my outrage. Please try again tomorrow. I'm sure I will be up to it.
