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.

and how we see it, depends on the arts that have influenced us.

To look at a thing is very different from seeing a thing.

One does not see anything until one sees its beauty."
