The new semester has begun at the University of Liverpool and this year, aside from the usual courses in archaeology, languages and international relations, 11 students are working toward a master’s degree devoted to Liverpool’s most famous musicians.
It’s a year long course called “The Beatles: Music Industry and Heritage.” It focuses on shifting perceptions of the Fab Four over the past 50 years and on how the band’s changing stories affected the record business and tourism.
