Groups with guitars are on the way out Mr. Epstein. What are some of the lamest comments made in the Rock?

Question by Pure Ringoism (Beatlephiles Only): Groups with guitars are on the way out Mr. Epstein. What are some of the lamest comments made in the Rock?
I wonder what ever happened to Dick Rowe, the Decca A&R man who turned down the Beatles for a recording contract with Decca. Did he wind up demoted to working in the mailroom? And what ever happened to the group that he compared to the Beatles as the next big thing in pop music?

Haha. Considered one of the biggest mistakes in rock history! He apparently passed away in 1986. Interesting – Brian Epstein paid Decca for an audition of the Beatles. Decca instead chose The Tremeloes, who auditioned the same day as The Beatles, were local and would require lower travel expenses.

He later signed The Rolling Stones after their audition, thanks to an introduction and encouragement from Harrison. He also signed Them (Van Morrison), The Moody Blues, The Animals, The Zombies, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, The Brumbeats, The Tornados, Tom Jones, and The Small Faces, among others.

Rowe died of diabetes on 6 June 1986. His son, Richard Rowe works in music publishing (and made the deal to create a joint partnership with Michael Jackson to publish The Beatles catalogue as Sony/ATV when he ran the publishing division of Sony Music).
