Love and Let Die : Bond, the Beatles and the British Psyche
Higgs, John
The Beatles are the biggest band there has ever been. James Bond is the
single most successful movie character of all time. They are also twins.
Dr No, the first Bond film, and ’Love Me Do’, the first Beatles record,
were both released on the same day - Friday, 5 October 1962. Most
countries can only dream of a cultural export becoming a worldwide
phenomenon on this scale. For Britain to produce two on the same windy
October afternoon is unprecedented.
Bond and the Beatles
present us with opposing values, visions of Britain and ideas about male
identity. LOVE AND LET DIE is the story of a clash between
working-class liberation and establishment control, and how it exploded
on the global stage. It explains why James Bond hated the Beatles, why
Paul McCartney wanted to be Bond and why it was Ringo who won the heart
of a Bond Girl in the end.
Told over a period of sixty
dramatic years, this is an account of how two outsized cultural monsters
continue to define our aspirations and fantasies and the future we are
building. Looking at these touchstones in this new context will forever
change how you see the Beatles, the James Bond films and six decades of
British culture.
