It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity.

It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge.

This is the dimension of imagination. Not for the first time in their career, they could identify with their established anti-selves, the Beatles. Several of the Residents' videos were produced by a guy called -Starr- Sutherland. The early Residents experiments first leaked out in The Beatles broke up in , and in much of their later work, they had delved into the experimental sound collage techniques that the Residents would implement so often.

The cover art to MMT also shows the four Beatles in costumes and masks, very stylistically similar to the various costumes that the Residents wore before settling into their eyeball image. Speaking of experimental work during this time period, John Lennon released 3 albums with his wife Yoko Ono over a one year stretch, each of them arguably as strange as anything the Residents ever released. The Beatles also established themselves as loving to play pranks on and create mysteries for their audience.

Notorious examples are the entire "Paul is dead" backmasking phenomenon, and the subsequent laying of "clues" that suggested that Paul had indeed died and been replaced by a lookalike. Examples cited by theorists at the time were various subtleties on cover art, and the line from Glass Onion, "The Walrus is Paul," in reference to the aforementioned "I Am the Walrus.

The Residents have also covered material by Ra. The Residents are allegedly everything about the Residents is "allegedly" from Louisiana and currently residing "outside of San Francisco" How far outside? How, then, did it come to be that the England-dwelling Phillip "Snakefinger" Lithman was their biggest collaborator from their debut as a performing act to Lithman's untimely death? Side note The fact that the last ever Snakefinger single, "There's No Justice in Life" was released the day that Lithman died just smacks of the same irony that perpetrated the whole "Paul is Dead" conspiracy.

Please everybody if we haven't done what we should have done we tried. Is this why nothing they did after or so has been any good in relation to their old stuff? Oh, Tim. There are perfectly legitimate reasons to dislike The Beatles! Not liking things is totally fine.

However, if you would like some reasons to dislike The Beatles, I have listed them for you below. The Beatles are probably the most influential band of all time. I will admit that freely. Once some time has passed, say you like a modern guitar-pop band. Blow their minds by acting unconcerned. What kind of car do they drive? Remain calm and amused.
