My kids dont like the Beatles, so I disowned them...my kids, I mean, NOT the Beatles.


Send them down the mines, I say. Make them earn their keep!


I just want you to reassure him - talk to him, make him see the error of his ways. Then I'll hit him.

Don't any of you remember being forced to listen to your dad's favourite music, and the endless "in my day.." lectures?

Our 6 year old loves Here Comes the Sun. I don't force her and her little sister to listen to the Beatles. I just play the music for myself and sooner or later she asks me about it and of course I'm pleased to tell her about George and his friends.  

Hey, so I'm a huge George fan! I can't help myself!


I wonder should I call you but I know what you'd do You'd say I'm putting you on But it's no joke it's doing me harm....
Tell me tell me tell me come on tell me the answer You may be a lover but you ain't no dancer....
When I get near you The games begin to drag me down It's alright I'll make you maybe next time around....
I wonder where you are tonight and why I'm by myself...

Don't worry, WaMoZ. Being a George fan just shows your excellent taste and intelligence.

I don't recall seeing your name before, so welcome to the Forums!

Thanks for the welcome harihead .

Yeah, you're right! So when I talk to the kids I'll just say, no its not the Beatles, its George's band. OK?

No, then they'll only say, "George who?" I think you're much safer calling it Ringo's band. He's got the most memorable name.

Yes, this is an example of the sterling advice you can expect from me. Aren't you glad you joined the Forum?


PS: Nice avatar. Hi, George!

Here is another big George fan (you're not the only one  ). He's my favourite beatle after Paul.

Welcome, WaMoZ!  


I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't eat trash... I work out hard everyday and have a healthy life. And I'm proud of it.

Hah! Stick out your tongue at me, will you? That earns you a free gift.



George and Paul discuss how much they enjoy being in Ringo's band.

I think its a fantastic idea to let your kids listen to The Beatles becuase not only is it like the best music ever created but almost every song aims towards peace, love, and understanding  making it a win win situation becuase you get to listen to the music you enjoy and your kids wont be listening to the (in my opinion) odious music nowadays

I think, instead of getting the kids to listen to The Beatles, they should be teaching them punctuation.
