In this episode, Elijah elaborates on the claim of his title "How the Beatles Destroyed Rock and Roll" and makes his best case for the role of the Beatles (and other leading musicians of their generation like Bob Dylan and the Beach Boys) inadvertently ending the process of synthesis and cross-pollination that led to the evolution of rock and roll.
