The Beatles Loved Money

Who doesn't love the Beatles? Their music is simply timeless. Forty years after they "made it big" the world is still listening to their songs. Unbelievable. And they've made a ton of money along the way too. A TON of money.

I always thought that the money was just a by-product of what they did. I saw them as anti-war, anti-establishment, and anti-money. Then I ran into this quote. It's from Paul McCartney and is found on page 28 of the summer issue of Success magazine. Paul is quoted as saying:

The Beatles were anti-materialistic? That's a myth. John and I used to sit down and say, "Now, let's write a swimming pool."

Ha! What a classic quote! Who knew that when they sat down to "write a swimming pool" they'd sometimes be writing enough to buy a few small lakes -- or even a sea. ;-)

Money Quote for Friday

Feeling philosophical on a Friday, so here's a good quote to go with the feeling:

Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of; a blessing that money cannot buy.

Izaak Walton
