In the Beginning

In the beginning, God created music. And it was Good.
And he created 4 angels to sing his most noble works, and these he called The Beatles.
But there was a rebel angel who was filled with spite and envy that the English should get all the very best songs. This angel had the sweetest voice in creation but no songs worth singing and so he conspired to steal God's songbook and flee to Earth. This he did, but in His anger God cursed him, stealing back the golden voice with which the rebel angel had been blessed.
But the angel -who's name was Bob Dylan- just laughed. He had the best songs ever written now, what did it matter about the voice?
And so did Folk Music entered the World. And it was Good.
