Does that mean the Beatles has to be my favorite band because I love rock and roll? Absolutely not. I have to give my due respects to the Beatles because of what they did, but there are bands that I enjoy far more. Even if they cover Beatles songs.

If not Connery, someone else would have been cast anyway.
