Same kind of thing with me - she'd always play them in the car and stuff and I just never really remember not knowing the songs. However I had a short attention span and any song longer than about two minutes would bore me by the end. One of my earliest memories was listening to Beatles 1 in the car when I was about four and being extremely pissed off by the sheer *volume* of Hey Jude

;D That's funny.
I think it's part of the reason I still love them so much, though. There are certain songs I listen to, they just remind me of being little, and that makes me so happy.
Honestly, when I got to school and found that most kids didn't know who they were, I was surprised. I had always assumed it was kind of a given.

By the time I was really into them, I was in third grade, I was extremely concious that liking the Beatles would be 'uncool' so I kept it my darkest secret. I was such a stupid little kid. It wouldn't have been uncool anyway because nobody else'd've heard of them. Now I have pictures of them in my locker. XD
This is kind of off-topic but my favourite story ever. For a few years now, I've been the hippie of my school (I wear tie-dye dresses and Woodstock and Beatles stuff to school a lot, and I have a peace sign necklace and John Lennon dogtag I always wear.) So anyway, the vice-principal of my school last year told me this story about how she was trying to tell another teacher something about me, but the teacher didn't know who I was. The thing is, everyone knows who I am, they just don't know my name, so she attempted to describe me by saying "She's that one girl who looks just like John Lennon" and the other teacher immediatley knew me. I told lots of people about this, and most of them agreed - "Wow, you do look a lot like John Lennon!" so ever since then I've been attempting to go with his particular style. Although really what I just did is continue on with the hippie style, and I added in some cool army stuff (fighting fire with irony), and then I got the glasses. XD Sorry for that total crap.

That is so awesome!! I would LOVE to be known as the 'John Lennon Girl' at my school, but there are way too many people at my school (one of the biggest high schools in Michigan, with almost 6,000 students) and no one knows me anyway, I'm really shy in school. I don't know why, either, because everywhere else, really, I never shut up. Anyway, if anyone ever does refer to me, it's normally something like, "That girl with the glasses that never talks."
Dear lord, what thread is this? I don't even know anymore, and that's probably a sign of being too off topic. I apologize.

Yeah, I'm totally mad so everyone's heard of me. If it's not 'John Lennon' or 'stupid hippie', it's something like 'insane asylum girl' or some such whatnot.
Some such whatnot. I'm starting to sound more and more like Ringo.
I figure as long as we're talking about the Beatles, we're on home ground. When we get off about... like... what worms we found under rocks today, that's when we have to worry. Probably about our sanity. Where did that topic come from anyway? I told you I was mad.

Oh, we're all mad here.
Heh, I quoted Alice In Wonderland. Which is totally ON topic because that's where John got the idea for I Am The Walrus and, as everyone knows, the walrus was Paul. ;D

*changng topic back* I first heard Beatles stuff cuz my mum would sing All My Loving to make me fall a sleep. Then I would go to Emmas and it was alawys playing there. The first song I really remember knowing was by the Beatles is Lucy in the Sky. I heard it at Ems house when I was like 5 or 6 and loved it! ;D
*changing subject again* Good job working in Alice in Wonderland Emma. Oh, how I love that book!!

i first heard the beatles when i was a baby in diapers. my dad allways played classic rock music.
anyway he used to play a hard days night album a whole lot. in elemetary school all i listened to was his old music. i actually emember a time when me and my dad were outside blockbuster waiting for my mom to come out with a movie and lucy in the sky with diamonds comes on and me and my dad start singing.
when i got into middle school i went threw a stage of i hate everything my parents like. so then i started to listen to rock bands from now, some crappy and a few good.
then i entered high school. most people became poser punks or got into rap. i was never into any of that stuff. i then bought a MD player and was going threw cds in the house to put on it, and i stumble onto a hard days night album. so i put it on the md and listen to song 2. i start freakin out cause i know every word to the song. i went threw the whole album and i knew it. so then i started adding more beatles albums my dad had and i knew most of the songs. from then on i was a beatles freak.
haha i feel like i just posted my "life story"
most people don't know who i am in school but i get strange looks when i sing beatles songs in the hallway. at least my school has a load of people who are beatles fans, so you really don't get harassed alot, well sometimes by loser people who have yet to hear good music.

My parents aren't into the beatles that much. Well my mom just heard Paperback Writer, and was like "Hey Mindy, this song reminds me of you! You gotta hear it." She put it on and I was like  . I found my love. And since that day I have barely listened to anyone. When I told my dad that I loved them, he looked at me weird. They were born in the 60s so they weren't really around for Beatlemania. People in school piss me off. I'm sorry, but they just don't respect anything. My friend and me (harekrishna) were working so hard (having fun as well, but working hard) on this huge Sgt. Pepper Project, we would dedicate all our free periods to this thing, homeroom, lunch, spanish. lol. But anyway, someone looked at the flowers we were going to glew on, but they weren't glued yet. So they hit the thing, ugh, and they always touched in with no respect and picked it up and tried to pick off the faces. Oh it just pissed me off so much. My one teacher always counted on me to tell her Beatle facts, we would go to her room and look at pictures, one time we were even blasting the White Album during lunch. But she once said that John Lennon was probably rotting in the depths of hell because of his honesty. GRR! |

People annoy me! I can't stand it when people are rude to you for not following the new trends and so on. Juts 'cus you like one band that they don't know they go all crazy and hate you for knowing somthing they don't understand. At least that is my beleif on why people dislike you for liking the Beatles.

Another thing that pisses me off is when people say they suck! Okay, you don't like them, but you cannot say they suck. I mean c'mon, John Lennon is one, if not the most famous person in the world, he didn't get that way by being a horrible muscians. They have 27 number one hits! 27!! And it was only in the amount of 8 years!! That is so incredible. Anyone will know who they are, everyone knows "the Beatles" ughh it just gets me so irritated. One time I was at Wawa and I was wearing a Beatle shirt and it was like 10:30 in the morning, and the guy working there said this.."Wow, you're like the 10th person today wearing that shirt, (um yeah ok..I bet..he had a nasty tone) "I call 'em the Beat-less because of how bad they are," I just looked at him, shocked that someone working there could be so rude to a customer, highly offending me, he noticed my reaction and said "get it? The Beat les, Beat less." I just gave him a dirty look and said, "Yeah I got what you said!" and grabbed my bag from him. Beatles, have no beat?! What is the world coming to when people say that?! OMG. Sorry ev'ryone, I just get so angry. |

Some people are so dumb. And yes, I understand that not all types of music appeal to everyone, but to not be able to acknowledge their skill.. you have to not know much about music. And as for people who make comments like that... it happens a lot when I'm wearing band shirts, etc, and I'm like, "I'm not wearing this shirt because I want to have debate about whether or not they're good. Why would you tell me that?" I don't know, I tend to keep my opinions about others' obsessions to myself, because I know how it feels to have someone insult them. It's such a blow to YOU as a person, whether people realize it or not.
