Have you heard all of those?
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
They're pretty good albums.
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
Don't make that face.
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
You know there's some asshole out
there who hasn't listened to one of
those and is now being reminded.
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
That's worth it, right?
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
This is a small price to pay.
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
Make sure to send your friends this
video.
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
That is to say, maybe your friend
is one of those assholes.
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
Maybe they're not even one of those
assholes. [those in italics]
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
Maybe they're the sort of asshole
who simply insists that the Beatles
aren't so great, who denies the
western canon in a cynical grab for
otherness.
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
That's dumb.
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
Do you remember when Tolstoy said
that Shakespeare was terrible?
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
No, of course you don't. Because no
one likes to listen to that hater
BS.
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
Shakespeare was a great, English,
author.
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
Maybe the best author ever.
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
And your friends aren't even
Tolstoy, so their opinion is even
less important.
TEXT ON SCREEN (CONT'D)
So tell them to suck it up and
realize that those four English
musicians were the best in the
world.
