Love it! I have to say, though, that as a former teenage girl who has done my share of screaming at boy bands (mostly Duran Duran <cringe>), I really don't understand the extreme hysteria: the physical agitation, crying, etc. I've read female fans even lost bladder control. The Beatles were adorable and totally worthy of adulation, in my opinion, but the extreme fan reactions elude me. Must have been a time-and-place cultural phenonmenon unique to that time period.

Here's a documentary showing Dr. Crippen and his staff treating the disorder at The Royal Free Love Hospital...

Were they really in love, though? I guess I view it as a combination of girlish infatuation and lust. Been there! ;)
