Event Spotlight: The Beatles in Contemporary Pop Culture
Perhaps having a bit more to do with music than with literature, on Wednesday the Newberry Library is offering an interesting look at how much the famous British foursome has influenced popular culture both then and now. The literary connection is that this talk stems from June Skinner's work Read the Beatles which looks at the band's careers together and separately. Skinner will be at the Newberry to carry the discussion forth and singer-songwriter Bucky Halker will perform his own interpretations of Beatles classics. Admission is $9 and the 6:15pm talk will be preceded by a 5:30pm reception. The Newberry Library is located at 60 W. Walton; call 312-255-3556 for more information.
