re: Beatles or Stones?

quote:

I got from a book called, curiously, Beatles vs Stones

I hSean O’Mahony, publisher of both bands’ official fan magazines starting respectively in 1963 and 1964, crafted and softened their public images. He opines: “The Beatles were thugs who were put across as nice blokes, and the Rolling Stones were gentlemen who were made into thugs by Andrew [Loog Oldham, their manager].” McMillian accepts this as closer to the truth than the bands or their fans might admit during the next half a decade.onestly don't remember who said it
