Music Industry Audience
How can the popularity of the Beatles and Beatlemania in America be explained?
(a) A crash publicity program of $50,000 from Capitol Records, including interviews, stickers, magazines, radio shows, and printed tabloids, paved the way for the Beatles. Plus They invaded America at a time when the music scene was stagnant and needed something new.
(b) The Beatles were a prefabricated, well-designed product that the music industry created in order to sell them to an already prepared audience.
(c) They had a good appearance, cute haircuts, and romantic songs that young people were looking for.
(d) Too much fast food
(a) This is close to the correct answer.
(b) That was The Monkees, and a rash of other copycats.
(c) That was Pat Boone, a repackager of early rock songs into a format that was more palatable to “grown up” tastes.
(d) Fast food was a new concept in 1964.
