For the past week I have been a little obsessed with the Beatles. I first started listening to the Beatles when I was 13. My grandma gave my Dad 'The Beatles One' CD. He wasn't a huge fan of the Beatles so I slowly took possession of it. I listened to it so many times that I had it memorized. I thought I was an expert on the Beatles- I listened to them plus I knew their names(John, Paul, George and Ringo). When my group stopped in London I made sure that I made a trip to Abbey Road. This is where I realized I knew nothing. I had heard only a handful of their songs and their names.
Last week I found "The Beatles" by Bob Spitz, on sale for 5 bucks. I decided to buy it because "I love the Beatles"! All week I have been annoying my family with facts that I have gleaned from the book. How John and Paul would sit down and in a couple of hours have a couple song worked out. How none of them could read music. How after their second American tour they never toured again. How they were only together for 10 years. How people would scream so loud when they were onstage that they couldn't hear themselves sing. Dozens of songs. A lot of craziness. Definitely not perfect but amazing.
I guess my point is that I am definitely a fan of the Beatles. If you need a random fact, just let me know!
Though not an original Beatles song, This song is amazing!
Some spatzal, apple juice, and crazy drunks- definitely a night of fun!
