It's annoying ain't it! There's not a lot of Beatles fan's round my area either, all that rave nonsense blasting out of bedroom windows!
only people i know who are fans are my best friend who lives up the road & a girl i know who is only 16!!! still young fans coming up to keep the memory alive!
Haha, blaring out the windows in my neighborhood is stupid Nickleback, Sean Kingston, and God only knows what else. In the summer though, I always open my bedroom windows and blare "Love You To" and "The Inner Light" haha
There's hardly any young Beatles fans where I live either. I heard someone singing 'strawberry fields forever' in the hall at school the other day, and I nearly ran the kids in front of me over to get a glimpse of who it was, I was that surprised. A girl in my English class at school was wearing a shirt that said "All you need is love", and I told her I liked the song. "It's a song?" she asked.
My friends and my parents think it's weird I listen to old music. In fact, the other day my dad said to me, "You can't spend your whole life listening to rock n' roll. Why not try a different type of music?" (!)
Wow, your parents think it's weird?? That's a shock, my parents LOVE the Beatles and always have since the 60s. They're VERY supportive of my Beatles/60s loving.
Yeah, I saw someone with a shirt that said All You Need Is Love the other day too , but I don't think she even knew the whole "thing" behind it. She probably just thought "Aw, that's a cute little phrase", and didn't even know it was made famous by the Beatles! That's funny when that girl in your class said "It's a song??" Wow...
~Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans~ ~Give me love, give me peace on earth~ ~All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone~ ~The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you~

Man, i know what you mean, being in a private school full of nothing but biased anti-Beatles people it is nearly impossable to meet a true Beatles fan! however, one day my spanish teacher played one of her CDs in class, so while everyone was chattering i noticed someone say "let it be....let it be.." then i relized it was my teacher's CD player! As i was about to come up and tell her how much of a fan i was i notice someone shout out, "i LOVE the Beatles! I'm one of the biggest fans at this school!!!!" . so i come up to this guy and start talking about the Beatles. then when i asked him to name three of his favorites. then he says "uhhhhhhhh......welll........i only know two songs......i just have Hey Jude and Hello Goodbye on my ipod" this coming from the guy who just announced that he was the biggest Beatles fan in the whole school! i just gave him a dissapointed look and walked back to my seat. then some guy says to me "well, i really like Lieutenant Pepper's Big Band" i then ask him " you mean Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?" he then shouts "No! its lieutenant!!" so then i gave him another dissapointed look and sighed to myself. And i haven't found another Beatles fan that goes to my same school ever since.
Oh, poor The Fab Fan! I'm sorry, I can't help laughing at your story. Lieutenant Pepper's Big Band?!?!? Good grief. However, if this is any example of the local "fans", no wonder Mr. Two Songs thought he was top of the heap!
I suppose it must make you feel a bit lonely. I'm so glad we have the internet, so people of common interests can find some nice conversation and relief. Please make yourself at home. There are a lot of people here who will appreciate your tales of woe.
Lieutenant Pepper. *huge sigh*
