How many of you have friends that are Beatles fans? I have a grand total of one, which makes places like this even more invaluable. Which is why it was so refreshing, not to say surprising, to be chatting to an Irish bloke in the pub yesterday when he - very sheepishly - mentioned that he loved The Beatles! A few hours later I had a new mate and had had a very enjoyable and interesting chat.

His opinion was pretty much as mine, that you can't really talk about them without fear of ridicule from people who don't know what they're talking about. Even your own friends!

Sometimes I think there is a God!

I have no Beatles fan friends. My sister introduced me to the Anthology, but I have long since left her in the dust in terms of interest.

It's always delightful running across someone in real life who also likes the Beatles. I do a lot of reading, and many authors still, to this decade, frequently drop in references to the Beatles. I just ran across one last week, where the author was congratulating himself on having lived to the ripe old age of 47, noting that along the way he passed Martin Luther King and "one of the Beatles", among other people.

It's part of why they fascinate me so much. They're a kind of common social language. If you "get" the Beatles, or experienced them, or what have you, you suddenly have worlds in common to explore.

Cool news about your new mate!

In real life I don't have any Beatle fan friends. I have more than 20 Beatle fan friends in 3 internet sites!....

You're such a statistician!

^ i don't get your point though i'm quite curious.

my sister likes them a little bit. but she doesn't know most of their songs, i mean her fave song is a taste of honey.
i have a friend who loves the song yellow submarine and sometimes we sing it together while other people give us weird looks.
my cousin doesn't know them very well but we talk about the paul is dead thing, sometimes.
a lot of my friends know and love the song yesterday but that doesn't count.
so no, i don't have a beatles fan friend.

I used to work in record stores in Toronto, and Beatles records were always consistent sellers, but the band wasn't exactly "hip," if you know what I mean. I'd been a big fan myself since the late seventies, but if you wanted to pick up girls you were better off wearing a more current t-shirt. But The Beatles' fans were the sorts who usually really knew their stuff: they'd come in asking for very specific things like Japanese pressings or wondering if any of us knew where copies of something like Ultra Rare Trax could be found. It was a great way to find out what was worth having.  I remember bringing a vinyl copy of Sessions back with me from Los Angeles at the end of one summer ('86 or' 87, probably), and ending up making at least six tape copies of it over the next few weeks for guys who hung around the store. I got tape copies of other people's boots the same way.

I have one friend I can really talk to the Beatles about, but we are slowly drifting apart. My boyfriend hates them, and I don't really see anyone else, with full time school and 2 part time jobs. So I mostly get out my beatles conversations on here.

I've a friend who likes The Beatles , he's a record collector and my nephew Theo is getting into them , so with me that makes three and three's a crowd

i have 2 one of them, one of them is the drummer in my band, so we occasionally try to slip in snippets of beatles songs during practice, but usually last about 3 seconds as the rest of the guys are anti beatles lol.

the other is a beatles fan and a macca fan on top of that which is good as i can ask him to get tickets to see him if his world tour parks at scotland

but i dont get conversations about them like i do on here, any debate or discussion we get into quickly turns into a who is the best beatle with them lol.

The point is that Magness said she had 20 friends on three sites. There were 27 at that very moment here alone.

the only real Beatle fan i know is my Uncle & i don't know anyone else. i have a friend
who does love the later stuff but is always critizing the early stuff. that does get me
angry at times. but i don't know anyone else that goes as deep into them as i do.
i get in desperate need of talking about my heroes, so i do access on the net, especially
DM's!!  

i have no beatle fan friends, but thankfully all my freinds respect me for liking the beatles

I have a co-worker who grew up listening to them, so we go back and forth all day talking about them (along with other music from the 60's 70's).  My mom likes some of their stuff but not enough where i can really sit there and conversate about them with her.  
So basically, just the one.  We don't even work with each other anymore either, has I just got a promotion and changed jobs.  But we still email each other all day long with trivia and just general conversation.
If my dad was still alive, I would have another.

Well, I guess I can add one more.  My best friends mom really likes them and we all go out drinking at the bar we always sing Beatles song during the kereoke hours  
And yes, we sound terrible, but we have a damn good time!

wow, 13! you are lucky!  

Welcome aboard to DM's LetItPee! *great name*!

That is the best name on here! Welcome.

I have a friend who was around for the Beatles in their heyday and even saw them at Shea Stadium! She is a really cool person and we always talk about the Beatles.

omg! that is soo cool!! i wish i had a friend llike that!!

That's cool Mairi! Another co-worker of mine saw them at Candlestick Park.  She said she was the president of some Beatle fan club, and was actually suppossed to go backstage somehow to meet them after the show... but somehow it fell through.  She says to this day she thinks about how she could have met them, and it kills her.

"Beatles fan friends" in my real life.. oh, very, very few. For most of them I am the one, who introduced them the Beatles.
I have influenced in the music some of my pals - but they like only 4-5 songs maximum.
At the moment I work with my cousin - and after "it long be long" (this song i connected specially for her with her boyfriend, hehehe) she likes them a lot.

Anyway, among my classmates, there are only one or two real big fans to the beatles - and, to my regret, I am not the person who have shown to them the beatles (i like to feel responsible for someone's music obsession )
P.S. sorry for the bad english, heh.

ONLY ? I think there were hardly 2 Beatle fans in my whole school, and I was one of them ! So you're lucky with 2 of them in your class.

Well, among my friends are sadly no beatles-fans. For my best friend they are alright, or rather she got used to them   , but she's not really a big fan.

ive got 3 friends who love them, and a couple who say theyre ok. anyone who didnt at least like a few of their songs wouldnt be able to stay near me for to long anyway. im always singing or humming songs!

so no, i don't have a beatles fan friend.

I have no beatle fan friends.... My parents (yeh). They listen sometimes with me (in the car and things like that), but they know only the real hits.
Last, my mum was all the time singing A taste of Honey. And with a good friend I'm also singing The Yellow Submarine. It's the only one she knows. She said that they have old voices ....
In school (or is it on) I've only onces seen a girl with a beatle bag. (I've another, and a shirt and I'me busy to make a shirt). No one said anything about it (just friends but not about the beatles). I'm the only one who really loves them. They listen it not.
Alright it's very terrible English. You are allowed to correct it  

I have met Beatle fans walking down the street.  I always get compliments when I wear my beatle shirts (I have about 5), and I know have a Beatle purse.

Although one time I was walking down the street with my Let It Be shirt, and some guy walked by and said, "Oh, that must be the new thing now, the kids wearing Beatle shirts!"  He walked away too fast otherwise I would have given him a peice of my mind!

hello there my name is cerys and im new to this forum...
i only know 1 more beatle fan and that is my neighbour, i would like to get to know more beatle fans

Welshy83, you came to the right place!

hey, welcome along to Dm's beatles site welshy83! plenty of beatle fans here!

Welcome Welshy. Where in Wales are you from?

and  it's not great when no other fans live near you. i can't think of any where i live.
The Beatles always make me happy!  

Just seeing that picture made me happy
