Answer:

Bringing more edge to their songs and comments by John Lennon

Explanation:

"Day Tripper" was a 1965 single in which some magazines thinking track is written about a prostitute. "Rubber Soul" was a pot inspired album, "Revolver" was an LSD inspired album. Press also thought track 2 of "Rubber Soul" was about a lesbian. Tracks like Tomorrow Never Knows and I Want to Tell You had an obvious drug influence. Tracks like "I'm Only Sleeping" and "Tomorrow Never Knows" having the first songs that featured anything that played backwards, tape loops, and studio effects. Even before Revolver, "Paperback Writer" uses an innovative rock riff and a very innovative echo at the end of a verse. It's B-Side "Rain" was the first song to feature backwards vocal. Before Revolver, John Lennon made an infamous comment saying "We're bigger than Jesus", which sparked controversy in America, with Radio Stations hosting Beatle burnings and such things. "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was another album inspired by Acid, with "A Day in the Life" and "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" being banned from radio play. "Magical Mystery Tour" had "I Am the Walrus" banned from airplay, and once again, every song off Mystery Tour was in some way inspired by Acid.

<em>"The BEATLES" </em>otherwise known as the "White Album" introduced a new genre; Heavy Metal. "Yer Blues" having lyric like "I'm lonely, wanna die", "Piggies" being about Police, "Back in the U.S.S.R" being written during the Cold War era, "Happiness is a Warm Gun" well that one explains itself, "Why Don't We Do It In the Road?" being literally what it sounds like, yet only using minimal instruments.

"Yellow Submarine" having "Only a Northern Song", an attack on their signed label named Northern Songs Ltd. Also, Side 2 had George Martin's film score, Tracks 1 and 6 are repeats, so fans were buying a full new album for only 4 songs

"Abbey Road" having a song about a kid killing people, "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" being a start of Doom Metal, and the excellent Medley on Side Two

"Let it Be" was recorded before Abbey Road, there is controversy on which album should be first.

In many ways, the Beatles are very controversial, but always the best.

What problems arose among the pharisees in regulating the sabbath observance?

Maslowich

The Pharisees' legalistic approach led them to creating an ever-more complex system of rules, and their extra-dutiful observance of law focused on external obedience to rules more than internal attitudes of the heart.

Jewish rabbinical tradition counted 613 commands stipulated in the Law given to Israel by Moses. For the Pharisees (meaning "those who are set apart"), that wasn't enough. They sought to set themselves apart from the common man by the way they applied the Law to every detail of their lives, making their own specific rules for specific situations. So as new situations arose, new religious rules were imposed. The Pharisees' body of law was something like the US tax code in that way! They gave particular focus to all the ways that one should obey the rule of resting on the Sabbath.

In the process, the Pharisees also paid primary attention to outward adherence to rules. The spirit of the Law as originally given was aimed at conforming persons' hearts to the ways of God. But following the laws of the Pharisees became more focused on maintaining outward consistency with the rituals and regulations they had established. In regard to the Sabbath, the original intent was so that people would stop other activities in order to give full attention to God and his Word. For the Pharisees, the focus of the Sabbath became more about regulating how much activity was considered allowable or not in different situations.
