Quoted from Andy Smith

I don't think George (or even John) realised how much they were loved by
so many people & how much they gave!!

That sounds right to me. It was sad, but I think it was true.

What touching stories, Tara and Adam. Death is always hard, whether you lose a friend or someone in the world that you admire. I just try to live the best way I can to honor them.

Tara, folks will always make fun of you for something--your clothes, accent, Beatles...   The trick is to learn not to mind. Good luck with everything. I'm glad you found your way to this forum. Cheers.

Yeah Tara, you seem to have a great taste in music & a great
admiration for the four lads from Liverpool! Don't matter what people
say. Even though i'm younger than most beatle fans i know, i can't believe
your younger than me.

Great signiture Tara!

I was laughed at for liking The Beatles and Sixties music in school too. Then in 1978 there was a HUGE mod revival and everyone wanted to borrow my records!! Oh how I laughed!!!

Remember, it may seem like you're at school forever, but it is only for a relatively small portion of your life. Then when you leave school I guarantee you will meet other like-minded people. Plus there is the internet - back when I was a kid I TRULY didn't have anyone else to discuss music with! You have friends here

Thanks, I agree, it doesn't really matter what they say, I can't (and won't) change the fact that they're my favorite band just because they don't think the Beatles are cool. I am who I am....

Thank you for the advise! I'm glad I found this forum!  

Quoted from Kevin

I think as you get older you get gradually more immune to death, so no, it didn't affect me greatly. Already seen too many people go before their time for it to freak me out. It's just how the world is.

I agree. It was in 2001.... I wasn't into the Beatles then. Sounds bad but it's true

I wasnt Beatle fan yet so i think i was in my hause i maybe even dont watch TV that day so i didnt know it.
But if i was watching TV and they talked about it I probably didnt take note of it because I didnt know who is George then.

yes, i know that its sad.

But now every year in anniversary of that sad day i pray for Georgie ...
Its very difficult day for me.
But normally on ordinary days when i think that h is not on this world any more, that he is somewhere else ... it makes me so sad that i nearly always cry (the same is witch Johnny)

i wasn't into the beatles then, but i remember my mom had the TV on, and even though she claims she doesn't like the beatles, i remember her crying for george

It's amazing how it affacts people who were never into them!

I was in 8th grade and had walked into school when my friends came up to me and said "HAHA George Harrison died!" and I didn't believe it at first and just brushed it off with "haha very funny guys" It wasn't until I saw it on the news that I found out it was true  

^ Oh, good grief. Kids can be such jerks.

I remember I had the same reaction when someone told me the Challenger exploded--  "haha very funny" -- because you just don't want to believe it's true.

^^ yeah they can. I remember during my senior year of high school ( just last year lol) I did a report on John and I used the radio broadcast the night that John was shot and I almost cried while listening to it and I played the Working Class Hero music video and afterwards my friends came up to me and said "Boo hoo John Lennon is dead. Who cares?" the same kids who teased me about George's death

..I got it as well, someone was taking the mick out of
john's death which upset me at school. i felt so angry & these
people knew nothing of him or his music.
and another time i was at school around the time Linda passed
away & i got all the awful jokes..
I think as life goes on, they'll realise what they said & feel bad about it.

Saying that, i did get one or two guys into the fabs & i felt so
proud. they had no idea of all the 'gear' things in store for them!

"Boo hoo John Lennon is dead. Who cares?"

Um, the entire rest of the world?

Very true, Andy.  Steve Martin said something like this recently; I can't remember where.  He said that you can really enjoy outrageous humor when you're young.  After you get older, you start knowing people who've died of cancer, car accidents, and so on -- and it gets so you just can't laugh at it. There's too much of a personal cost involved.
