Malcolm Gladwell: Beatles...Prodigies or Not?




I came across this video when i was checking out a blog i like Fresh Creation. I have read Malcolm Gladwell's Book "Outliers: The Story of Sucess". He gives a fresh perspective on the way our culture works. In this video the best-selling author uses The Beatles as an example to question the existence of genuine musical prodigies. He attributes a large measure of the band's success to the experience they gained while playing as the house band for a strip club in Hamburg, Germany. Weather you think they are prodigies or not, they are no doubt one of the greatest bands of all time.
