I love this book! The beautifully written Beatleness will not only bring to life all the excitement for those that weren't living yet during the Beatle years, it will cause major goosebumps, all over again, to those who were there. It's an incredibly hip and astute account of all the Beatles' major happenings that affected so many people around the world who were riveted to their every move. I can't wait to read it again!"—Will Lee, Grammy Award–winning bass player and studio musician, Late Show with David Letterman and Fab Faux A fascinating study of the Beatles' resounding impact upon late-twentieth-century American culture. . . . While hundreds of Beatles books stake claims about being the definitive work, Leonard's Beatleness finally gets to the heart of the matter, offering readers new insights into the unusual and lasting nature of Beatles fandom."—Kenneth Womack, author of Long and Winding Roads: The Evolving Artistry of the Beatles and The Beatles Encyclopedia: Everything Fab Four Very impressive. Beatleness not only describes what it was like to be a hard-core fan from the beginning (like me), but explains it in an historical and personal context. For forty years of The FEST we''ve been celebrating our love for The Beatles with thousands of fans. Now we have a word for it." —Mark Lapidos, president, Mark Lapidos Productions, and founder, The Fest for Beatles Fans Candy Leonard was ‘possessed' when she first heard the Beatles, and Beatleness is her story and ours. It''s breezy, smart and open-hearted, and everyone who grew up with the band—or wants to know what that was like—will appreciate its insights and feel its emotional impact."—Anthony DeCurtis, contributing editor, Rolling Stone From ex-employees to ex-lovers, we've seemingly heard from everyone associated with the Beatles. Beatleness finally lets us hear from another group: the fans whose lives were forever altered by rock's greatest band. These are vivid snapshots of people who rode the wave—and suffered through the crash—of Beatlemania as much as anyone who worked for the band." —David Browne, Fire and Rain: The Beatles, Simon & Garfunkel, James Taylor, CSNY and the Lost Story of 1970 "VERDICT This fun and insightful study of pop music fandom is recommended both to older Beatlemaniacs who were there and to younger fans who want to know what it was like to be a part of the phenomenon. . . . Leonard interweaves highlights from interviews with hundreds of American fans born in the Forties and Fifties, situating their comments against the backdrop of the Sixties cultural, social, and political history and exploring how Beatlemania happened and why the Beatles became much more than just a musical group to millions of Americans. . . . The insight into how admirers interacted with the group''s work, felt a personal connection with a favorite Beatle, and responded to the band''s ever-changing sound and image is mostly fresh and fascinating." — Library Journal Leonard manages to find a new angle of approach to the study of the Beatles . . . The value of the book hinges more on intergenerational comparisons and contrasts of how ‘Beatleness' affected members of the youth demographic, especially when it comes to differing gender perspectives on the Beatles' music. Leonard also provides a helpful overall sense of how the average American Beatles fan not only accommodated the lightning-speed stylistic shifts in the band's music from 1964 to 1970, but how these changes affected the decisions they made in their own personal lives. . . . A welcome . . . sociocultural study for the Beatlemaniac bookworm." — Kirkus Reviews, I love this book!

Synopsis
Part generational memoir and part cultural history of the sixties, Beatleness allows the reader to experience--again or for the first time--what it was like to grow up with the Beatles and shows the impact of "Beatleness" as an ever-evolving stimulus in young lives. Based on hundreds of hours of in-depth fan interviews, the book combines original analysis of the Beatles phenomenon with scores of fan vignettes and photographs. Of interest to every fan generation, second and third as well as first, it offers a new understanding of the Beatles' place in history: how they changed everything, and why they still mean so much to so many., The Beatles arrived in the United States on February 7, 1964, and immediately became a constant, compelling presence in fans' lives. For the next six years, the band presented a nonstop deluge of sounds, words, images, and ideas, transforming the childhood and adolescence of millions of baby boomers. Beatleness explains how the band became a source of emotional, intellectual, aesthetic, and spiritual nurturance in fans' lives, creating a relationship that was historically unique. Looking at that relationship against the backdrop of the sexual revolution, the Vietnam War, political assassinations, and other events of those tumultuous years, the book examines critically the often-heard assertion that the Beatles "changed everything" and shows how--through the interplay between the group, the fans, and the culture--that change came about. A generational memoir and cultural history based on hundreds of hours of in-depth interviews with first-generation fans, Beatleness allows readers to experience--or re-experience--what it was like to be a young person during those eventful and transformative years. Its fresh approach offers many new insights into the entire Beatle phenomenon and explains why the group still means so much to so many., "A must-have for Beatles fans looking for new insight . . . Leonard uncovers fresh ideas [that] . . . six decades of Beatles literature passed over. -- The Spectrum Part generational memoir and part cultural history of the sixties, Beatleness is the first book to tell the story of the Beatles and their impact on America from the fans' perspective. When the Beatles arrived in the United States on February 7, 1964, they immediately became a constant, compelling presence in fans' lives. For the next six years, the band presented a nonstop deluge of steadily evolving sounds, ideas, and images that transformed the childhood and adolescence of millions of baby boomers and nurtured a relationship unique in history. Exploring that relationship against the backdrop of the sexual revolution, political assassinations, the Vietnam War, and other events, Beatleness examines critically the often-heard assertion that the Beatles "changed everything" and shows how--through the interplay between the group, the fans, and the culture--that change came about. Beatleness incorporates hundreds of hours of in-depth fan interviews and includes many fan vignettes. Offering a fresh perspective and new insights on the Beatles phenomenon, it allows readers to experience--or re-experience--what it was like to be a young person during those transformative years.
