Choose two of the three topics below and write a well thought-out, well-developed paragraph for each.
We saw in Renegades how popular rhythm and blues, rock and roll and pop artists helped to shake the walls of racism in America. Discuss the impact the Beatles had on American society apart from their musical influence.
As a touring ensemble, the Beatles performed countless shows within a relatively short span of time. Talk about the evolution of their live show and in how it is similar or different to a modern act such as Greta Van Fleet or Metallica (or any other popular band that plays instruments and sings live). Note: What I am interested in is comparing the Beatles’ physical placement on stage, the instruments they are playing, who/how many are singing, their roles (lead vocals or backing vocals), how they interact with each other, changes in staging, use of microphones, amplification, and technology or lack of it. Also introducing songs, talking between songs, bowing, moving around stage, dancing.
From the music that you can hear in the film, in what way(s) do the Beatles carry on the tradition of artists such as Chuck Berry and Little Richard? In what way(s) do they change or transform the early rock and roll musical style?
