Corect me if I'm wrong, but the Beatles didn't start coming out with decent music until Lennon dissed the religous folk, right.

I wonder about this too. When did they go from the "I wanna hold your hand" Beatles, to the "Strawberry Fields" drugged-out beatles? Were they just taking a cue from the civil unrest of the late 60's? Vietnam perhaps?
