Sounds like sour grapes - I hope I'm not a Beatle-bore though!!!

I'm afraid that if I am one you're another one too, mate!    

Oh dear!

From one Beatles Bore to others:

The articles actually half-way funny.  For an Australian.  (sorry, mates)  I agree about the endless "anniversaries" and it does have a couple good knocks at Yoko.  

Wait a minute. You mean there are actually people that don't spend every waking hour listening to or reading about The Beatles? Can't be. And who among us hasn't wondered about the color of John's underwear when recording such classics as Strawberry Fields? Or whether they preffered boxers or briefs. Perhaps they never even wore underwear. These are all topics worth exploring in great detail if you ask me.

@TheEnd: if it's OK with you leave it where it is

Oh boy, yeah we're all Beatles bores.
Sandra, you're right, there are things that needed to be discussed in detail, need useless information

Time for a bottle of tea now

You know what I think it is? I think we intimidate them.

Incredible, isn't it!  

Well, the person had the time to say how much they didn't like the beatles, maybe they should step outside their door once in a while!

Who cares? The guy has an opinion,,,thats all. Its not our opinion, but he's entitled. Hell, my brothers hate the Beatles too (although I pass that off as ignorance), but I still drink a beer with them. I hate Van Halen, AC/DC, The Eagles, CCR, etc,,,so I guess i'm not innocent either.

*Any* Beatles hater is really ignorant! I found over 40 former Beatles haters on message boards and web sites that are now big Beatles  fans! I didn't communicate with them at all but they wrote that they had a lot of misperceptions about them and hadn't even heard most of their songs and albums before. Most people don't hate The Beatles to begin with,and most people of all ages love or at least like their music worldwide,but most people don't go from  hating a group to becoming big fans. This just goes to show how great The Beatles really are!  If you type in quotes on the google.com search engine"I used To Hate The Beatles" you will find many of these people!

Man, you've got to calm down about this. I know loads of people really into music who don't care  for The Beatles, and I know people who think Bruce Springsteins voice is great. Personally I love Petty's laconic style, and I think Dylan's perfectly suit his style. His vocal is magnificent on Like A Rolling Stone.
