Curiosity:
*The King Crimson, in their 1970 album "Lizard", set to music the last difficult moments of the Liverpool quartet's career. The third track, titled "Happy Family", sketches the personalities of the Beatles through sharp allusions, some cryptic and dark, others obvious. In the lyrics of "Happy Family", we find in order "Brother Judas" (Paul McCartney), "Uncle Rufus" (Ringo Starr), "Cousin Silas" (George Harrison), and "Nasty Jonah" (John Lennon). The reference to the band is even more evident when observing the album cover, which is indeed made up of paintings connected to the different tracks, and in the top right one can easily recognize the portraits of the "Fab Four."

**Ian MacDonald wrote in "The Beatles - The Complete Works", Mondadori, 1994, that Aaron Copland (New York, November 14, 1900 – New York, December 2, 1990, American composer, who during his long career was awarded over 30 honorary degrees) said: "If you want to know about the Sixties, play the music of The Beatles."
