Ideas and Concepts:
On the importance of hard work and Hamburg for the Beatles, via this morning's History of the Beatles class: "The Beatles first came to Hamburg to play clubs in November 1961 and played at numerous clubs there off and on for nearly a year. And what happens when you are playing a brutal schedule of six sets a night off and on for two years is that you either burn out and quit, or you get really good. And when the Beatles returned to Liverpool and once again appeared on stage at the Cavern Club in August 1962, people who remembered them realized that they had become really good."
