Beatles peripheral? During a recent sitdown with The New Yorker, Van Morrison waxed nostaglic on the music he grew up on. When skiffle pioneer Lonnie Donegan and 'other practioners of pre-Beatles rock 'n' roll' came up, Morrison took issue with the term. "That's a clichι," he said. "I don't think 'pre-Beatles' means anything, because there was stuff before them. Over here, you have a different slant. You measure things in terms of The Beatles. We don't think music started there. Rolling Stone magazine does, because it's their mythology... The Beatles were peripheral. If you had more knowledge about music, it didn't really mean anything. To me, it was meaningless."He doesn't think much of Elvis either.
