I rember going to see Help! and learning the words to Yellow Submarine.
I saw them on the news when they broke up - but didn't really understand the significance.
Got into them seriously in '76 when I left home and moved in with a bunch of hippies (that was in NZ, we were a bit behind the times then)

I think it was in 1994 and my ex-friend had all the vinyl-albums which his mother gave him and we just started listening. The first cd I bought was the IMAGINE soundtrack. Never got tired of them.... Love Žem.


They were the most brilliant, powerful, lovable, popular group on the planet...

In Kindergarden, my girlfriend told me she was no longer marrying me, but she was going to marry George Harrison. That began my interest in The Beatles.

Watched Yellow Submarine, my first love was Eleanor Risby


I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we pass the audition.

I heard the Beatles when I was younger since my parents have a lot of their albums on records and we have a working record player. My earliest memory of them is on one Thanksgiving my dad played Magical Mystery Tour. I was very weirded out (I was like 7 or something) when I heard "I am the walrus."

When the news came out George Harrison died I remember my dad saying "I don't want George Harrison to die!" I asked who it was and he told me. Later that day they showed George on TV and I just stopped everything and watched which was weird for me.

A couple of days later my music teacher told us we had to present a project on a musician. They had to have been making music for more than 10-20years (can't remember exactly). Immediatly I blurted out "Paul McCartney...no John Lennon!" I have no idea where those names came from. Than I finally settled on The Beatles.

That xmas my dad bought me Abbey Road on CD and I was spellboud after I first listened to it.

I was going through my father's record collection passing up all kinds of boring looking stuff when I found a rather colourful record with an awful lot of people on it.  I read The Beatles in flowers and thought "They sure are old, but I'll give them a try".  So I went in my room, put the record on, turned out the lights as I heard the first strains of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.

When the last chords of A Day In The Life died down, it was as if I had had my first fix of heroine.  I was hooked and I was on some high that music had never given me before.  To this day I still get my fixes every chance I get.

When did you first hear of The Beatles? I first heard the Beatles when I was in 4th grade.

Was it through their films or maybe a track you heard on the radio? My music teacher, Mrs. Parkinson (a very nice lady) from Elem. school, played the "Help" CD for the class, as well as Happy Christmas (War Is Over) which we sang in a choir. PARENTS CRIED!!

What makes their music so special to you? Wow, can I ever put this into words... I can relate to it for one. When listening to it, it makes me extremely happy. When I am down and I listen to the Beatles, suddenly my problems almost vanish into thin air for the time being! The Beatles make me feel so happy, it's like a natural high, then when you really are high (LOL!! WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!! anyway... ) Um......... there is just so much to say but I have no idea HOW to say it....

Can you remember what it was that suddenly made you think "wow"? Happy Christmas (War is Over). It was later sang by the 8th graders in Middle School which is when I really got into John Lennon, then the Beatles. When I got into 8th grade, our choir sang this as well--upon my request.

Now, onwards to things that I'd like to say. In 2001, I was assigned to do a biography on John Lennon. I already knew who the Beatles were from Elementary School, however, it wasn't until then when I got into the Beatles completely. It wasn't just the music that I heard before hand, it was John Lennon's childhood and his life that interested me right then and there. Also, the words he spoke--how clever and witty he was. Afterwards, I got into his music, more deeply. Then I got into the Beatles that same year and I fell in total love with them. However, it was John who has had the biggest impact on me, even til this day. The other Beatles play a big role in my life as well. Each and everyone of them are extremely important to me. Without them, I wouldn't be me at all!! They are my life.

When George Harrison passed away, I was very suprised, and of course, very devestated! I then got into the rest of the Beatles' solo years and learned more about John that I possibly could, and the rest of the guys.

I WILL FOREVER MORE BE A BEATLES FAN UNTIL THE DAY I DIE!!!!!!!!

I LOVE YOU BEATLES
OH YES I DO
I LOVE YOU BEATLES
AND I'LL BE TRUE
WHEN YOU'RE NOT NEAR ME
I'M BLUE.
OH BEATLES... I... LOVE... YOU!!!!!!
