 I love the Virgin Rock woman

Well, she comes up with some odd interpretations and conclusions due to her overall ignorance of popular genres (as does the opera singer who has the  Charismatic Voice channel) that can definitely be humorous but personally, I prefer Beato's hipper, Jazz-informed approach. Each to his/her own. 

 I don’t think John, Paul, or George wrote a song as good as GOK

Can you please expand upon what you mean by "as good" ?  

 

"Well, she comes up with some odd interpretations and conclusions due to her overall ignorance of popular genres "

Virgin Rock is an accomplished CLASSICAL musician.

It's not uncommon that level to be uninformed OUTSIDE of the Classical world.

She made a comment how the song reminded her of the Beatles-suggesting she is unaware of the timeline and how it influenced Maca's path. 

Beato's interpretations are another view-she provides different  insight in other areas of song analysis.

Yes; I realize that!

I’m not a Classical music fan and from my perspective, she’s like someone from another planet who’s been set down on earth and is sort of stumbling around trying to make sense of the (to her) alien landscape in terms of her familiar frame of reference, which doesn’t necessarily "translate" that well, in my opinion. I'm sure her many fans would disagree.
