become cattle and sheep?

Interesting. I found the Canada one too.

For posterity here’s the YT link.

And for a fleeting 32 years so did Kieth Moon. Both considered technically more advanced than Ringo but I would put all three amongst my top drummers in rock history.

Maybe from others who interpreted it as targeted at the band’s first generation fans, not at the members themselves.

Edit: I don’t agree with the original sentiment, the Beatles influence on popular (western) music cannot be disputed whether one personally enjoys their output or not.

I thought they were referring to the fans, not the members.

But that doesn’t hold as the Beatles legacy has continued to reverberate through generations (mainly due to artistic output, but supplemented by well managed releases every decade or so)

I don’t think they meant “use” with any negative connotation. I’m curious. Had they said “utilized” instead would that have read better to you?

I mean, none of The Beatles knew theory. Obviously they picked up a lot of it but they lacked the vocabulary. They turned to George Martin, producer of all but one of their albums, for that.

It’s actually really good, just not flashy. Just what was needed for the tracks.

Most of the people who believe in it haven’t read it.

The point stands

And maybe those frustrated individuals will learn to look somewhere else next time.

Don’t let Joan hear you.

did this term come from language evolving, or is it a corporate move like the meme says? It can’t be both.

Yes it can. It may not be a natural evolution but the meaning to most people has changed regardless.

The term wasn’t invented by Google but the current connotation may have been. Even if this isn’t good, we can’t expect to influence the average person’s use of the term more than an billion dollar company can.

Thank you. Added.

Did reddit suddenly get better?

No, but my point is langage and meaning evolves and the process I referred to above is now commonly known as sideloading. Whether that makes sense or follows a historical precedent doesn’t matter to most people.

I just thought it was kinda funny. This community felt right

I respect where you’re coming from but what about downloading an app from your browser and installing it separate from any app store? Do you consider that “sideloading”? If not I have bad news.

For the uninitiated:
