My mother quietly crying at the kitchen counter as we sat at the breakfast table listening to the radio announcer tell us the Beatles were done. Howard Cossell on Monday Night Football saying John was gone. Smoking in the basement, listening to The White Album. Abbey Road does it for me. The entire second side of the album is just an operatic masterpiece. Golden Slumbers slays me everytime. I love all kinds of music and artists. Say what you will, but they were four young lads who truly changed OUR world. And for the better in my opinion.

I saw them on the Ed Sullivan show, and that same year, went to their concert in September, 1964. I was 13. It amazes me that I am almost 63, and I can still remember the words to all of their songs. They truly changed popular music forever.bisbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07402339913694354191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-58788149959129285502014-02-04T13:09:58.168-04:002014-02-04T13:09:58.168-04:00WMM, when you get to ON sometime, should do a jaun...WMM, when you get to ON sometime, should do a jaunt down to Cleveland for Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, great Beatles section.

I think in part because Macca is too famous and Wings (which was bigger when I was a child) kind of annoyed me. Wendy, this post made me a bit verklempt, sign of a goodie.<br /><br />My best Beatles related memory is working on promoting the John & Yoko related bed-in Suite Story at Fairmont QE in Montreal.<br /><br />I couldn't begin to pick a single song. But I still have the "White Album" my mother acquired not long before my birthdate. And I think Elvis Costello said it best in his Rolling Stone essay (paraphrasing): one of the the reasons the Beatles had to stop performing is that the songs weren't theirs anymore. They belong to the world.GetFreshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15426579144685310371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-37517212542029345062014-02-04T09:54:30.580-04:002014-02-04T09:54:30.580-04:00My memories of the Beatles is the Ed Sullivan vers...My memories of the Beatles is the Ed Sullivan version as an adolescent living with a sister who was absolutely besotted with Paul.

They weren't really the thing when/where I grew up. I think I'm close to you in age, but for me it was the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen. Still, I had the White Album on cassette tapes, and I knew their oldest music too. I know it enough to be able to sing along to almost all of their songs, so maybe I liked it more than I remember. My favorite song is I Am The Walrus lol, not for sentimental reasons but because it's fun to sing. catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-79953053145065855002014-02-04T07:50:59.451-04:002014-02-04T07:50:59.451-04:00Oh no one could wallow like George!
