Why this hub

Beatles → Wings: clearest logo-change case where listeners still follow one writer’s ear.

Born 1942. Inside The Beatles: melody engine, bass melodic lines, co-writing with Lennon. Wings rebuilds a touring/pop-rock vehicle under a new name—Band on the Run as the usual citation. Teach beginners that bands end and songwriting continues; person > brand in the graph.
