The Beatles exhibited traits and behaviors that combined aspects of communal and passionate masculinity. Their inherent strength that bonded their relationship over the years was found in communal traits of camaraderie and loyalty. Incentives to provide pioneering ideas as leaders of popular music came from their passionate manhood traits of competition, sexual maturity, ambition, competitiveness, and self-advancement.
So, what is self-alignment? It is the combination of both communal and passionate traits and behaviors that provides a third, exponential component which drove their personal motivations as pop music leaders. The desire for creative expansion is key! To trailblaze into uncharted pop music territory had no limits. Cobain understood that.
Components of their self-alignment were first seen on their Sullivan show debut. Audiences realized a communal, masculine loyalty expressed by four individual, passionate identities and the performance was explosive. This was the combination of traits and behaviors that continued to evolve and influence. How this happened is the story of their lives as The Beatles and the reason for the blog. If anyone caught a solid glimpse of what comprised their group dynamic, they became an ally, mentor or fan…. and the rest is history.
Posts will separate aspects of The Beatles’ self-alignment with stories about their recording experiences, events, and people in their lives.
Some of these people were male fans who were musicians (or wanted to be), and credited The Beatles for their drive toward fame in the same way The Beatles did. These fans recognized and learned the formula for success by observing and imitating the premise of a self-aligned expression. Their own well-deserved successes contributed to the trajectories of new genres and sub-genres in rock music because they were confident that their style of music was going to thrive.
This is not to say that it is only the masculine gender that is self-aligned! The Beatles’ motives for continued success did not impede or discourage any person from any walk of life. It may be said that those who could not comprehend why The Beatles were such a tremendous success may have felt threatened by them, but there was no threat within self-alignment. The opposite is true.
The value of self-identification appears as a cornerstone to The Beatles’ longevity.

Sorry, Pete
McCartney fought for Best’s attention to be part of the group first and the girls, second. I used to get on Pete’s case a bit. He would roll back again around 10 in the morning and be going to bed when we’d be starting work. I think that had something to do with the rift…
