When you can tell which Beatle is which

 

…And you’re definitely there when you can always identify which Beatle is singing!

And that’s why I was rather surprised (if not shocked) when I learned here many moons ago that a few Beatles Biblers had thought (or still thought!) that it was actually Ringo singing the “out of college, money spent, see no future, pay no rent, yellow lorry slow nowhere to go” etc. part of “You Never Give Me Your Money “!

That really bothered you, didn’t it? That happened a few years ago!

When you get excited because someone you like is wearing a Sgt. Pepper ‘s shirt, but then you get a little disappointed when you find out that they don’t even know what Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band is. Then when you have to try really hard to restrain yourself from making fun of the person for wearing a shirt with an album cover on it even though they don’t even know what the album is, and you’re proud of yourself for not really saying anything about it.

…you see a woman and immediately think she looks like Linda with dark hair.

This happened to me earlier and I wondered if it’s a disease to be that Beatle-crazy.

Either way I’d be happy to have that sickness! a-hard-days-night-george-9

When I’m waiting for the bus and comes “Magical Mystery Tour ” in my head.

When I cross the crosswalk and think of “Come Together “.

When I’m sad, and just put in random play “Dear Prudence “.

But especially when I find myself “talking for hours” with them.

And as I write I’m thinking “Please, sir or madam, would you read my  book  text?”

…when you have a song on in one room, leave to do something in another room out of earshot, continue the song in your head the whole time, and come back into the room exactly where the song is!

I will not get out of a car or turn the music off until a Beatles song has finished. Leaving the room with it on and coming back is one thing, not waiting until it is finished before actually leaving is sacrilege.

I am still smiling from the @Zig moment (like a Beatley moment) I had yesterday while driving. I was behind a car with Pennsylvania plates, and we passed a semi with Maine plates.

I thought about your license plate. Cheers.

I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

The first time I listened to ADITL was when I was in bed, waiting to floaaat upstream. Imagine what I’d felt when the last part came up just as I was slipping into the grips of slumber. a-hard-days-night-ringo-6
