You know you're a fan when you can't stand it when people get Beatles facts wrong!! It drives me CRAZY! I am generally a nice person but this is one of my biggest pet peeves EVER!
Today at school, one of my classmates asked me about seeing Paul in concert. He then started to talk to me about the Beatles and he was saying that George Harrison was a great yet underrated guitarist. Then he tried using Blackbird as an example of one of George's best songs. FAIL.
I tried telling him that it was actually Paul's song, and he was like, "Well, Paul wrote the song and it was George doing the guitar work." And I had to shush him (he wouldn't listen to me) and say that it was Paul's song AND Paul was playing the guitar. I'm not kidding, there's a Beatles-era video out there of Paul playing this piece in the studio.
I wonder if I made the guy mad...he thought we were arguing?...but then again, he also thought that the Beatles played at the Hollywood Bowl in 1962. Fail fail fail!
Yes, clearly I have nothing better to do.
