The Beatles: The Making of A Hard Days Night
Background Information: The Beatles [Top] The Beatles were one of the most influential music groups of the rock era. Initially they affected the post-war baby boom generation of Britain & the US during the 1960s & later the rest of the world. Certainly they were the most successful group, with global sales exceeding 1,1 billion records. While they were originally famous for light-weight pop music, their later works achieved a combination of popular & critical acclaim perhaps unequaled in the 20th century. Eventually, they became more than recording artists, branching out into film & political activism. They achieved an iconic status beyond mere celebrity, with far reaching effects difficult to exaggerate. The members of the group were John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison & Ringo Starr, all from Liverpool, Merseyside, England. Original drummer Pete Best was asked to leave the group just before it started recording. Stuart Sutcliffe was with them in Hamburg but also left. Beatlemania began in the UK & exploded following the appearance of the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show in the United States, on February 9, 1964.

Clark penned many of the groupīs best-known originals, including Feel a Whole lot Better, Here Without You & Eight Miles High. He left the group in 1966, due to tensions within it. In 1967 he released his first solo album, Gene Clark with the Gosdin Brothers, which proved to be a commercial bust. Along the years, he released many other albums that failed to have commercial success. Around 1987 he began to develop serious health problems that finally led to his death in 1991, caused by a bleeding ulcer.

It is the 4th episode of the fourth season & originally aired on April 19, 2000. Features of this episode include endless misdiagnoses of ADD paired with prescriptions of the drug Ritalin & a rock concert featuring an unfavourable portrait of Phil Collins, for whom the now incredibly sedated children develop a liking. Collins is depicted as perpetually clutching an Oscar, which he kisses in one scene. His appearance in South Park to headline a major rock festival is upset when Timmy from Timmy & the Lords of the Underworld are selected to play after him. The way Collins is portrayed in this episode is almost certainly due to his winning of the Academy Award for Best Song three weeks prior to the airing of Timmy 2000. Collins song Youll Be in My Heart beat Blame Canada which was nominated for the same award.
