Summary
The Beatles’ manager died nearly a quarter of a century before the first website was born. He never had a Facebook account, an email address, or a Twitter handle. In Epstein’s lifetime, “bandwidth” was how much brain power and energy you could spare, superhighways connected major cities, and “Spotify” sounded like a great name for a dalmation. Yet, he was steadfast in one conviction. When asked by journalist Larry Kane in 1964 how long the Beatles “would last,” Epstein responded with, “The children of the 21st century will be listening to the Beatles.”
