Beatles or Stones?

Is this question really a relationship breaker?
If so, I don't get it.

Yes, I know it's really a joke question.

Any music fan knows the history of the bands, so I won't go down this road.

For non-music fans, I will explain, in the 60's, the Beatles were the "good" guys, and the Stones were the "bad" guys.

I think the real question is;

Are you conservative and sweet, somone who enjoys strolling on the beach, and holding hands by the fire?

OR
A free-spirited skinny-dipper, who lives for long motorcycle rides, and a bear-skin ( okay, faux bear-skin) by the fire?

So, why don't they just ask that question?

Of course, most people are both, in innumerable variations. So questioners want to refine it to the basic elements.

Are you "good" or are you "bad"?

Which might be a little too basic, so they couch it in terms most people would get right away. Even if it is a joke question.

So, Beatles or Stones?



In case you were curious about me - STONES!!!!!

Although, just to prove it doesn't really matter, The Saint is a Beatles man.
