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)
well it all started last year (04) when me and my (now bestest)friends (dani kristi and jenna(im brittney by the way)) were having a prty 4 dani(whose name is reale danille) and we were ridin 2 the pizza place (in the car) and jen said "put on 95.7 maybe there will be a beatle song on"( o yeah b4 this jen was a huge beatle fan(having loved them since she was lil), dani was a startin beatle fan, kristi had liked them a LIL bit and i had liked and heard sum of their music) and jus that second come together came on . jenn started to jump(while sitting) and sing sayiing it was a beatle song then she started singing the song we all though the song was pretty cool(i swore i thought i heard the tune on sum kind of video game)and then (after all the prty) we went 2 drop of jen and we went inside her house and when i saw her room i fell in luv with them and decided (then started prancing around saying this) i was a beatle fan i then went home on the internet and got lots of pics then went through all ma parents vinlys (spel?)(bbut i found no beatle ones) then their cds(found the red album) and i guess the rest(as us applescruffs say it )is just history
yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away now it looks if though there here to stay oh i believe in yesterday...(smitten)
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...
how did i discover the beatles?they were playing this pub called the cavern and when i saw the show i was like wow.i talk too them after their set and set up a contract to be their manager.i forgot my pen so went to borrow one at the bar and when i got back i saw brian singing my boys................now i always carry a pen....
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.
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.
I love the Beatles so much. They are my life!!!!!! A Beginning

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!!!!!!
