Even a good commie can only take so much Shostakovich.

Heh.  Ann Althouse has a post, "When Paul visited Moscow in May 2003, to perform a concert in Red Square, he had an audience with President Putin, who told him that hearing the Beatles as a boy growing up in the Soviet Union..." highlighting the possible effect of the music of Beatles on the eventual dissolution of the Soviet Union.  Perhaps.  

But I did enjoy the comment from Ice Nine:

>>Putin, who told him that hearing the Beatles as a boy growing up in the Soviet Union was 'like a gulp of freedom.'<<

Even a good commie can only take so much Shostakovich.
