"I do remember that the Beatles once said they were more popular than Jesus Christ."
Considering it was in 1966, they were probably right.
"Where are they today?"
Paul McCartney sells out concerts to this day.
A couple of apparently famous Australian musicians performed the White Album in its entirety on tour.
The Beatles are the best-selling pop artists of all time. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Abbey Road have sold over thirteen million copies each.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band has been cited as inventing the concept album.
Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, The White Album and Abbey Road are frequently included in lists of the best albums of all time.
For many, The Beatles are the face of sixties psychedelia.
I'd say they're doing quite well.
"One is dead"
Actually, two are dead, but I wouldn't blame you for forgetting about George Harrison. He is responsible for some of the Beatles' best-known songs (While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Something come immediately to mind), but he was more focused on Indian culture than John's "give peace a chance" mindset and also died from cancer rather than being shot by an insane fan.
