The long and winding road: Stuart Maconie on why our opinions about the Beatles keep changing Fans and historians have spent 60 years debating what the band means – and which member is greatest. Will the returning Anthology project and Sam Mendes’s planned biopics create new arguments?

Delighted to have had the chance to write about Beatle β€˜historiography’ in @theguardian.com

Star Trek The Voyage Home with the Whales scene. Here pictured is Scotty, Bones, and a third fella. Bones is in a leather jacket, Scotty in his red uniform, and the 3rd fella looks like a middle management type with a tie, brown sweater over shirt, and a big red button that reads "I quit smoking." Bones and ex-smoker guy are in a wood panel lined office standing and looking down at Scotty who is sitting at a computer & holding a mouse up to his mouth.  He has a encouraging smile on his face. Closed caption reads, "Hello, computer."

On a black background, we see the picture of a woman, twice. She's a cis white woman, in the dark, naked, her long brunette straight hair falling on her breasts. No make up. The first iteration of the picture has a pink filter, the second a dark lavender one. Band name and album title are written in that same dark lavender tone.

Everything feels chaotic, everything feels like it's all falling apart, and I've surprised myself by making this album. I really thought I had nothing left in me to say, to do. I seem to go through these feelings after each album is completed, but this time I really believed it. Until out of the blue, early Spring 2024, I wrote a lot of these songs. We had released in the weeks prior "Avert Your Eyes", as a single-only, written as an intention. The new album is a need.
This is saturated solace. Like an alt of myself. This is what I feel. I don't want to have to find more resilience, again and again. I want the sufferings to end. I hope we get there.
"Along the Way"
' track o7, is
dedicated to the trans community and trans kids especially.
