Favourite Beatle?
John is probably numero-uno, but George is So close too.

Favourite Beatles song?
I can never really pick an all time FAVORITE...I have 'favorites-of-the-moment'. Right now, I'm stuck on: Across The Universe, Julia, Golden Slumbers, Carry That Weight, All My Loving, Back In The USSR, Here, There, Everywhere, I Me Mine...and many more, actually.

Favourite John Solo Song(s)?
Jealous Guy, God, Imagine, Love, Working Class Hero, Happy X-Mas, Luck of the Irish

Favourite Paul Solo song(s)?
I'm partial to Maybe I'm Amazed and Calico Skies

Favourite George Solo song(s)?
APPLE SCRUFFS is probably number one--I love, love, love that one. I'll be his Apple Scruffs any day. That one, Beware of Darkness, Awaiting on You All (I'm not really a religious person, but I love the sound of that one), All Things Must Pass, and The Art of Dying.

Favourite Ringo Solo song(s)?
I don't really know much about Ringo's solo stuff.

How old were you when you became a Beatles fan?
I've been a Beatles fan for as long as I can remember, but I've been the obsessive freak that I am for about a year now.

What or who made you a Beatles fan?
Well, their music, of course...but the person that introduced me to them was an good friend of mine. He's an on-air guy at the radio station I work at, and does a Fab Four medley every Sunday night. He's been my 'Beatle mentor', basically...what a great guy.

Your best Beatles memory
Hearing Dave's stories (I think many of you know who Dave is...) about the memorial service in Central Park for John Lennon, which he attended. Dave could tell a story like none other, and I was in a complete trance listening to him. I cried when he was done. Also...well, this hasn't happened yet, but I'm going to the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame over Spring Break, and I'm beyond thrilled for that.

What or who made you a Beatles fan?
My daddy ^.^. He gave me the One Album on that fabled Christmas Eve, put it on while I played video games, and the rest, they say, is history.

Your best Beatles memory
When I got Lennon Legend on DVD and watched it for the first time. I didn't like John as a person so much back then, you have to realize this. I was mad at him for being a jerk to Paul (who was my 'favorite' back in the early days...of being 11 and 12) and I had the "John Lennon Collection" which I listened to only to hear Give Peace a Chance and Imagine (XD)

So, LL came in the mail as a special deal with the CFG that I ordered off Amazon. Deciding to save the 'best for last' I watched Lennon Legend first. The second you see John close up in Imagine, staring at the camera, I burst into tears. First time EVER that I starting crying to anything Beatles related. I cried during Imagine, got happy during Instant Karma! (Because Mal was there, I love Mal), and sobbed through the rest of the songs before absolutely wailing to Happy Xmas (if you've seen LL you'll know why. I'd rather not go into details.)

If you're wondering why that would be the happiest Beatles memory for me, it's because the second I began crying after looking into John's eyes during Imagine, he officially became my hero, idol, and savior.

-cough- Sorry for giving you my life story, but that is the first time I ever wrote about how really John became my 'favorite' and I wanted it to be special.

I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN. I did EXACTLY that, too. I bawled straight through all of Lennon Legend.

Your best Beatles memory
Listening to John when I was really little, didn't even know his name or what any of his songs meant, but his voice calmed me down. I was a very high strung child lol, still am...but my mom would put him on and I'd be happy for a little while
