It depends where you live. All the boomers around me know about the Beatles, way less than John Lenon was a member of the band, and no one knows who Yoko Ono was.
I am sorry, but where could that be?
I would understand if not everyone knew Beatles there, that would be in sync with later statements. But “everybody knows, but doesn’t know the details” is quite weird.

Is your definition of boomers “members of the baby boomer generation born between 1946 and 1964”, or is it “everyone more than 5 years older than me”?
Or do you not live somewhere in the anglosphere?
I’m not saying everyone born and raised in the anglosphere between '47 and '64 know who John Lennon and Yoko Ono are, but almost all of them do.
The Beatles and the events surrounding them are among the foremost cultural touchstones of that generation.
