Hello! I'm Blake Kourik, the narrator for Music Box USA. I want to reassure everyone that I narrate these videos and that no part of the recording utilizes AI. I am also a filmmaker and recently released my film DEMO on my YouTube channel. If you'd like to check it out, I'd greatly appreciate it!

George and Ringo are definitely the 'approachable ones' for Gen Z (in my personal experience). George’s dry humor and introspective work feel relatable for our generation, and Ringo is just effortlessly with that 'peace and love'. They feel like actual, grounded humans rather than just historical figures. Plus, the Get Back doc turning into a goldmine of memes (especially George just casually quitting the band).

As Gen Z, I like Ringo the most because he was the UK narrator for the first 2 seasons of Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends

He was shy, particularly in the early Beatlemania days. That resonates with Gen Z, who are young and often shy. That’s one of the first thing that I noticed when he became my favorite Beatle

They’re all great, but George has always been my favorite Beatle.

I'm a part of gen z, and I love that modern Beatles fans see the Beatles not as heroes, but as people, with their strengths and weaknesses, and pay attention to each member without the old stereotypes. John Lennon my favorite Beatle tho, but that's not because I see him as a rebellious hero, but as a complex, deeply traumatized person whose lyrics are incredibly relatable. And I'm not defending all the terrible things he did, just like I'm not defending the terrible things the other Beatles did. I'm just recognizing both sides of their personalities. They were never super good people. But they certainly weren't monsters. Their personalities were shaped by the times they were raised in, and many other things. And the history of rock there have certainly been people far worse than the Beatles. I love all the members immensely and am glad that George and Ringo are getting so much attention now. George truly deserves such love he's getting nowadays. his thoughts, his lyrics, and his music are amazing

You know I also feel like George’s music has also been used a lot more in recent media like My Sweet Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy and Beware of Darkness in Weapons it’s give people a way to rediscover him

It wasn't meant to be the main message of this video, but if you're Gen Z listen closely to Harrison's comments at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Knjl4fZ-RPs&t=524">8:44</a>: "It doesn't take long to be from 17 to 57. Forty years just goes like that..." Poor George only had one year left to live. 😥

My Mum grew up in that era and she said girls she knew all loved “baby faced Paul” but her favourite was George. The strong, silent one.

I've loved the Beatles for years. I first loved John because we both went to art school, I had a sharp tongue, and started guitar at the same age. Eventually I moved to Paul and his insane talent, then eventually because I was playing drums too, Ringo. As a more mature and spiritual person I have landed on George. His remarkable awareness, maturity, and dry humor appeal to me more than any of them now.
