James,
Thanks for presenting us with such a well-researched essay on my all-time favorite band. You have touched on many important aspects of their lives and careers. It is truly amazing that there are people alive today that actually do not know the first names of the four of them! 

Because of this, I definitely agree that ALL of their music should be included in the Time Capsule. Their music and lyrics represent a time of wonder, experimentation and political uprising in the world. It was a time like no other and we may only see glimpses of similar times in the future.

Do you believe that The Beatles, as a group, would have been nearly as popular or deemed as "talented" if it were not for their drug use?  

Thanks again for such a terrific essay!
Jill
