My older brother turned me on to The Beatles when I was in kindergarten. I loved all The Beatles and all their music, but I had the biggest crushes on 1.) Ringo, because he was cute and puppyish, and 2.) John, because he was so funny. If you're interested, I wrote about The Beatles' movies in my October 22, 2010 post "Midnight Movies at the TV Oasis: A Bleary-Eyed Memoir." :-)DorianTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01357778472575080022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-65763447616152033862011-01-18T21:38:24.628-08:002011-01-18T21:38:24.628-08:00Thanks for stopping by John and adding your memori...Thanks for stopping by John and adding your memories.

As for John I got to see him, and Yoko, at a movie theater when I lived in NYC. I recounted this experience at my other blog “Watching Shadows on the Walls” back in October when I did a series of postings on Lennon.

You just put me back in time. I remember those days very well. I never saw the Beatles in person but.. I do remember laying out by the pool listening to my little transistor radio waiting for one of their songs to play. For birthdays, I always looked forward to getting the latest Beatles album. My favorite Beatle was "George". I absolutely loved his voice. When they broke up the band I could not believe it. Do you remember one of their last performances when they played on top of the roof.(I think was on top of a bank building). I will see if I can find the video and post it on N and CF.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03476174860119487509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-35142900964345652082010-10-09T22:43:20.356-07:002010-10-09T22:43:20.356-07:00This blog is obviously close to my heart, so I off...This blog is obviously close to my heart, so I offer a special thanks to those of you who have commented - Brandon, Becky, Kim and Rick.<br /><br />I confined myself to writing about the early Beatle years...I didn't want to turn this into another three-part opus which was possible because, as they evolved, the Beatles came to mean much more to me than "the greatest band in the world."<br /><br />I've always had a special place in my heart for you, Brandon, amazing young cinephile, from the first time I saw the name "Beatlebrandon" at CFU. Thanks for stopping by...<br /><br />Rick, I think you hit on something. As I was thinking about that long lost letter to the editor, it occurred to me that it was the first thing I wrote that was published beyond the school paper. <br /><br />I should note that This is probably the least researched blog I've ever written, since 95% of it was simply remembering.<br /><br />Kim, I'm so glad to hear you're blogging again!The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-17577215132294743182010-10-09T21:43:05.271-07:002010-10-09T21:43:05.271-07:00Eve, my favorite part was reading about your lette...Eve, my favorite part was reading about your letter.

While I'm a tad too young to say I had first-hand experience of the British invasion, I still can appreciate how they contributed to the development of music here in the States as well as other parts of the world. Great tribute. BTW, I've returned to blogging.Kimberly J.M.

I was 11 in 1963 and remember it all very well. I was a little out of step, as I frequently am, because I was totally in love with Mike, the keyboard player in the Dave Clark Five. But I loved the Beatles too. Remember how they each had a description...John was the smart one, Paul the cute one, Ringo the funny one, and darned if I can remember what we used to call George! After the Beatles was the British invasion, and so many good bands, Chad and Jeremy, Peter and Gordon, the Stones ... it was indeed a good time to be young! Thanks for a well-researched and well-written article about this wonderful man!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-74528008114878434922010-10-09T11:45:44.410-07:002010-10-09T11:45:44.410-07:00Hey Lady Eve, (its beatlebrandon) amazing tribute ...Hey Lady Eve, (its beatlebrandon) amazing tribute to an amazing man!Beatlebrandonhttp://brandonthecinephile.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.com
