The next thing your gonna tell me is that the Monkey's didn't exist. {holding hands over ears "la-la-la-la-la"}

After the movie Head was released in '68, one of the Beatles (either John or Paul) said it (and the Monkeys) was an accurate representation of the construction and marketing of a rock band. Just because the Monkeys didn't play their own instruments (no Beatle played on Eleanor Rigby) or write their own songs (Elvis?), you're going to deny them existence. How real were the Sex Pistols then? If the Archies didn't exist how could they have had a hit song on the charts? And don't get me started about Sig Sig Sputnik or Vanilla Ice.
