2016-08-08: You're so pusillanimous, oh yeah

It's Rutles Week for some reason. Many have tried to copy the Beatles, but none have come within shouting distance, except Neil Innes. It probably helped that he had both the resources of the Pythons (he's sometimes called the 7th Python)and George Harrison. And it also needed the comedic angle as no one was going to out-Beatle the Beatles. Still, many of the Rutles songs, though fashioned after Beatles songs, stand on their own as excellent compositions.
