Yesterday

The Beatles are on the cover of EW & Rolling Stone & with the release of Rock Band Game: Beatles, I feel like it is Beatlemania all over again. That is fine with me. They are my all time favorite band. I was at the perfect age of 9 when they really hit it big in the USA in spring of 1963. My parents, only in their early 30s, did not approve of them. My father: “ Yeah, Yeah, Yeah… is that music?!?” My father really hated their hair & announced that his son would never have hair over his ears. Oh, the fights we had on that subject. Now my father fusses with his fairly long hair & I have no hair. I loved them like crazy & I had one of my first male crushes on George, until I decided that was John that I felt special feelings for. My parents did give me gifts of Beatles albums for the next 7 years & even later in life, when they would give me gifts of re-issues & collections. They also learned to really like The Beatles.
