For those of you who aren't familiar with Mojo magazine, it's a British music magazine that usually comes with a CD. Out of all the various magazines that do articles on The Beatles (Life, Time, Newsweek) Mojo is by far the best. There is virtually a Beatles Mojo out constantly, and they are incredible. Instead of monotonously detailing the information about the Beatles we all know (like, "Ringo was in fact not the original drummer." Come on, we all know that) the various authors of the article, or in this case, whole magazine, closely analyze their social effect, which I think is the most interesting point of study with regards to the boys. Anyway, I have quite a few Mojo Beatles or Beatles-related magazines, but this is the first one that is literally all about them. This one goes in depth to their psychedelic years, from their first experimentation with marijuana in 1964 to the conclusion of the band in 1970. It's absolutely fascinating and might just get you into a subscription to his analytically rich magazine all for the love of great music. Way to go Mojo!
