well, you may have lived during the most explosive era for music, thought and rebbelion, but I'll still be kicking it in 2075! 


Anyway, Joe was born in 62 (?) so he probably wasnt really aware of the Beatles until around 66, so i dont really see the "continuity" in that.

*****LOL!  That IS true, unless of course I run you over with my car.

*****Well, I was born in 52 so i guess I was speaking more for myself, he hasn't yet approved or disproved my interpretation of what he is saying. 

Bottom line: there is no "better" fan, just *different*.

Yes, Mr. Charlie (or is it Alan, as I thought I read somewhere?) your obervations put it very well. That's what I meant.

Yes, being born in 1962 there was some continuity. But what I mainly was referring to was with regard to the solo Beatles' careers. I watched them develop and you have to keep in mind that who we're really discussing here is Paul McCartney as an individual.

I don't mean to start offending a lot of the younger people here. I was getting pretty roasted early in this thread because of my situation with Paul in New York, and it was specifically when fans couldn't "understand" how I could "waste my time" wanting to meet any of The Beatles that I started to suggest that perhaps they don't have as strong a bond or indentification with them, being younger and looking at a lot of their career(s) through books or as a thing of the past. I suggested that maybe they don't feel as strongly about the group as I do. Of course, this isn't either all black or all white for every individual. I just can't understand how a big fan wouldn't want to meet any of the Fabs, that's all.

Joe I understand.

Theres a lot of bitchin on here at the moment. First time I've come across it. On further investigation, I see theres quite a few hum-dinger rows going on. What is the obsession with some on here spouting their 'Gospel' truth? Surely we all just like The Beatles? Seems that some hover and bide their time to attack anyone who slips up on a fact. Is'nt it about sharing Beatle knowledge? Maybe I'm in the wrong place.

Anyway without 'kissing butt' theres some sound sorts on here, long may this forum thrive.

Spread some love!!!!

Not to open up the furnace door again, but who are we really talking about,,,,Paul or Joe?

I'd love to meet one of the Beatles, its just that i'm not going to let it interfere with my daily life, i'm not going to suffer in the cold weather, and i'm not going to impose upon them and feel betrayed later because they came off a tad pissy. I've had my chances to try when I was in my late teens and didnt do it. I've had my chances last year when I was in my early 30's and didnt do it. I dont think that waiting and stalking for an autograph or handshake measures what kind of Beatle fan a person is. Some crave that type of stuff, some dont. I'm in the latter.

It doesnt bother me in the slightest that you waited for him, and it doesnt bother me that he came across as an @ss. Lets just claify what we're justifying.

Ok, i've said my peace and remember,,,,,i'm neither a lover nor a fighter.

new thread yet?

too late








(hows that for some fucking content )

I'm no diaper-roo

i understand what everybody is saying, but...let's just put it this way. the beatles wouldn't be making their living if it wasn't for the fans. the fans are the ones buying the albums, movies, records, casettes, going to the shows, sending them things. although they do deserve privacy, they are the beatles...they should expect that with the size of their fame they're going to have a billion loving fans. like it was said b4, it's a give and take situation. i understand both sides, but since i'm a fan i think we just look @ it in our point of view, u know what i mean?

I'll repeat that it's some of the best time I ever spent, when I waited for Paul in the cold in February, 1993. I have a wonderful framed shot of Paul and Linda, signed by each of them, hanging right here in my computer room for the rest of my life as the result. It was time well spent, and the effort I put into it was only a drop in the ocean of my entire life.
The end more than justified the means. If you expect to effortlessly "bump into" Paul one day while shopping at your local supermarket, you'll have a long wait.

In 1995, Paul was more that just a "tad" pissy. MUCH more.

Sorry, sadie, but that's Grade-A bullplop.

They chose to make music.  We chose to like it and buy it.  They owe us nothing, in fact they gave us some of the best aural memories of our lives. 

i feel like I owe them a lot.  In fact if Paul McCartney ever wanted my autograph I would gladly give it.

I never went to many autograph signings.  The other people I've seen were all very nice.
