...Beatles are unforgettable," says Carol Singer, music director of WRKO in Boston. That remark may become the platitude of the half-century. It is seven years since the group's final album was issued, eleven years since they last performed together in public. Yet WRKO is only one of hundreds of radio stations across the U.S. scheduling Beatles marathons and playing such old faithfuls as Hey Jude and Get Back regularly.

...clearly Spielberg meant the film to be good clean fun, and apparently that's how a lot of people are taking it. WRKO radio is advertising a name-that-song contest which offers the grand prize of a shark hunt; a trip to Martha's Vineyard where the movie was filmed, two tickets to Jaws and a "shark repellent kit"--a baseball bat.
