I know that I am posting this randomly, but I only want this message to reach as many people as possible. I felt an urgency to post this because it would mean so much to me for someone to hear me out. Words alone could never describe the unconditional love that I have for every member of the Beatles, and so I tried my hardest to articulate the words that describe my life-long love affair with the Beatles and their music. I hope that I'm not the only one out there who feels the way that I do. Here goes nothing:
I have always held an unwavering love of the Beatles burning in my heart for as long as I can remember, notably since I was in diapers. I have never been able to express to my friends or family or anyone else for that matter, the love that I possess for the Beatles. They have made such a great impact on my life because of the truely remarkable way that they have been able to withstand the test of time, remain a timeless favorite on the list of anyone's favorite bands, and most importantly of all, they have aquired the supreme talent of being able to hold my attention span infinitely, whereas a lot of things in my life don't. I hold them in such a degree of endearment, that sometimes when I find a vulnerable moment I only feel an urge to have a good cry for the sheer gratitude I have for the simple fact that the Beatles were ever created and exist. They were so ground-breaking and innnovative during their prime and certainly continue to hold such a title to this day; no musical artist furthermore has ever been able to come close to the sacred talent of the beauty that is the Beatles.
I believe that the reason that they have touched and affected so many people worldwide such as myself, is because people who have been avid listeners of the Beatles, perhaps since the beginning of Beatlemania or maybe late bloomers who weren't lucky enough to have been alive during such an era [again, like myself] have LIVED WITH THEM through the music and events surrounding the timeframe that the Beatles' hayday was in. When I think of the Beatles personally, I almost value them in the same sense that you would a close friend or relative. And every time that I should tune in and kick back to one of their classic songs, I catch a wave of nostalgia and revel in the feelings of adoration for them that shroud the recesses of my mind, and perhaps even catch a tear at the corner of my eye.

I think that history will show that these men were not only pop stars, but musical geniuses. Their styles of music composition are very similar to classical composers (I'm not joking) and a lot can be learned about what they did just by listening. One of the high points of my life was seeing Paul McCartney in concert in 2005 and sitting in the 8th row.
Here is my GH story. DH and I were at an Indian restaurant in Santa Monica when I notice just 2 tables over, George and a couple of friends eating. I've been around alot of famous people but this was the first time I was ever star-struck! I kept hitting my DH on the arm but I couldn't get the words out - then George looked over at me and smiled and I thought I was going to pass out. Finally DH realized what I was trying to tell him and the rest of the dinner we just sat in awe. My DH has played alot with Julian Lennon and he is just as talented as his dad. Unfortunately he gets criticized alot for sounding like him but WTF!? He is his son afterall....sheeeesh....
