You know the reason The Beatles made it so big?...' I Want to Hold Your Hand.' First single. Fucking brilliant. Perhaps the most fucking brilliant song ever written. Because they nailed it. That's what everyone wants. Not 24/7 hot wet sex. Not a marriage that lasts a hundred years. Not a Porsche...or a million-dollar crib. No. They want to hold your hand. They have such a feeling that they can't hide. Every single successful song of the past fifty years can be traced back to 'I Want to Hold Your Hand.' And every single successful love story has those unbearable and unbearably exciting moments of hand-holding.
