Early reports coming out that he has died in the hospital. TMZ is talking about it on their live feed.

Holy shit! A guy thats like a 100 years old might be dead? Way too young, too soon, such a shame. How long ago did the beatles break up? Half of them are dead anyway.
- I hear what you're saying, but it's hard to say the Beatles didn't influence much of the musical worldmonospaced
- and that many people will see his passing as a loss, regardless of the circumstancesmonospaced
- Yeah they did but they broke up like what, 40 years ago? It wasnt a big deal when George died.CygnusZero4
- My only point is why is this major breaking news? He was really old, and he lived a good life. Its not sad at all.CygnusZero4
- Think of an artist you grew up with listening to as a kid. It's like that for baby boomersukit2
- I get it, but is it actually sad? The guy lived a full live, made a billion dollars, is a legend.CygnusZero4
- His fans must know that old people die, right? Is this any sort of a shock at this point if he dies? It just seems silly to me.CygnusZero4
- nobody's surprised that he'd die because he's old, it's that they're sad that his talent is finally gonemonospaced
- He' still writing music... so yeah, it would be a loss. Who cares about the Beatles breaking up so long ago.ETM
- There was PLENTY between then and now.ETM

The reason I find it sad—and I think a lot of people would agree—is that he (as part of the Beatles), wrote many of the songs that became the soundtrack to my life. Certain milestones can be marked by songs, and to this day they evoke strong memories. The poetry and music he left behind is timeless. Yes, he lived a long life and the Beatles broke up decades ago, but they live on in their music and the memories they heightened for the majority of the world. They documented revolutions, social and political movements, crossed borders and brought people together, and wrote some of the best love songs ever written. So, even though it's just another loss of life, it's one that people will mourn simply through association and the things he left the world with.

Ha. In actuality, I was never a big fan. Mostly indifferent to them, they just never crossed too far into my musical spectrum. But now that I've gotten a record player, I'm planning on getting some of their records, starting with Revolver and White Album.
- those are two of my favorites, good choicesmonospaced
- They have the most songs I recognize. They've got the reissues at Urban Outfitters actually.mg33
- Funny enough, UO has a really nice selection of vinyl, old stuff and newer trendy stuff.mg33
- you have redeemed yourself, my sonformed
- Revolver and Rubber Soul are almost a double album. I'd do those two and The White Album.jtb26
