Just last year my orchestra teacher had us playing Beatles music. I didn't know they were Beatles music, but my teacher advised us to check the songs on youtube. So, I went and looked up "Lady Madonna." I like it so much i clicked on ALL the related videos. I got so addicted, I couldn't stop!
So I kept my addiction to myself, but the secret leaked to my friends after a few weeks, and after a few months my parents found out.
:D

About... a year ago maybe?
I saw this video using a lot of the Studio Ghibli movies. ("Castle in the Sky", "Princess Mononoke", "Whisper of the Heart", "My Neighbour Totoro" etc...)
They were used in a music video with the song "Here Comes the Sun". The music was stuck in my head for a very long while so I just kept watching the video over and over again. I started asking my mom if she knew the song. She's 52, so she was around when the Beatles were. She went on about them and the song.

I'm a HUGE fan of the movie "Newsies". If an actor from "Newsies" is in anything else, I have to watch it. Aaron Lohr was in "Daydream Believers- A Monkees Story" and I while looking for that, I found "Help!" OnDemand on my TV in April!! So I watched and fell in love.~

I think so! Everyone I know who likes the Beatles was influenced by their mum. =3
Very cool! ;D

for me it was a friend of my mom.. i was maybe 10 and sold right away. continued to be a big fan till i was like 17, moved on into new territories and lost sight of them for a bit..
then, 12 years later, i saw a docu which some of u loath and some of u praise (zeitgeist) that triggered an ah erlebniss.. i went looking and found that they already knew what we ought to know now..

check out the thread ""u have GOT to see this"" in songs or visit a site from a game i play.. i have several figured out on there: http://forums.utawolves.com/viewtopic.php?t=1532
i can also recommend the docu (zeitgeist) if u hadnt seen it yet. if ur religious, dont watch part 1 unless u have an open mind.. itll spoil the rest of the docu for u
if ur on anti depressives, ignore all but the first line

Welcome to DM's, mgc1. By the way, I think you have spammed your sites in enough posts now. Put them in your signature if you want them to back. Cheers.

I first saw a commercial with one of their concerts and i didn't think much f it (for shame) but about a year later i heard them on the radio and i was hooked. Now i go hunting for any records i don't have yet ;D.
