Well my stepdad is a BIG collector and a HUGE fan and he introduced to some bands the most I took interested of is Queen and The Beatles. And ever since Lucy in the Sky I had been taking my stepdad's cds and check them out and eventually later I became a Beatle fan after White Album and Sgt.Pepper and I keep exploring the Beatles more and more.

I have really enjoyed listening to everybody's stories. It seems that they have all been touched in a different way, whether it be from a song, a vision of the Beatles, or something else. It just goes to show, doesnt it?

When did I first hear the Beatles? Well, I first heard them when I was in elementary school because my music teacher showed us the Beatles Yellow Submarine movie. But after a year I forgot who the Beatles were, but I heard the Beatles Yellow Submarine song on the radio again when I was in Middle School and I asked my mom who wrote that song and she said the Beatles did. I really liked the Yellow Submarine song and that's when I became a Beatles fan after hearing that song for a second time. :)

I don't think you can really 'discover' the Beatles. They're just sort of always there. I mean, it's not like you stumble upon them and go, hey I just heard a song by some really cool band, I wonder what else they've done. It's just a matter of how into them you get. Avoiding them is a lot harder than finding out about them. They're everywhere in some form or another.

My friend's dad is a huge fan of The Beatles, and me and my friends would always poke fun at him because we thought they were totally lame. Well, until I actually heard some of their songs, then I got hooked on them. Most of my friends don't know that I like them, because I'm afraid of being ridiculed by them if they find out.

You might want to read that thread, "are you ashamed to be a Beatles fan?".
I am posting on an internet forum, therefore my opinion is fact.

Well I'm not really ashamed. It's just that my friends haven't heard them and think they suck or something, and I'm just afraid that they'd tease me or something because I like them.

I remember, when I was about 5 years old, my aunt used to sing 'Obladi Oblada' to me, and I loved it. I always knew about The Beatles, but wasn't really interested. They were not together anymore, and I was too busy listening to contemporary music. Then one day I got a 'Greatest Hits' album from 'Sinterklaas' (which is a friendly bishop that only visits Dutch and Belgian children in december to give them presents because they are the nicest children in the world). It was on a sunday, and the whole day I played that record again and again and again. I was completely overwhelmed by it.

The next day I went to school and told my friend about my new obsession. "You know The Beatles?" I asked her. "Yeah, I do",  she replied, "one of them is dead." Stupid girl, she did NOT know them, like she never knew any of the actors or popgroups I liked. "No," I said in a patient tone, "they're not dead. They're alive." "No", she insisted, "one of them is dead." "Yeah, right, since when?" I asked irritated. "It happened yesterday, he has been killed." She didn't know which Beatle it was, but of course soon I found out that it was John Lennon. So I will never forget when exactly I fell in love with The Beatles. It was on the day John Lennon died.

I think its just a matter of time before people discover the beatles for themselves and they love it.
