im not really a beatles fan but i loved their songs since i was 8 or 9 (i think there is a high standard to call oneself as a beatles fan).
i remember back in grade school that i chatted with classmates and playmates who also liked their songs. i even said they had this way of bending their knees while they perform on stage. of course, it was just a hastydeduction based on one video i saw.
there was one time where we played this game where we will sing a portion of a beatles song and the one who runs out of a beatles song to sing loses.
there was also one time where we debated if a particular song was a beatles song or not. one playmate insisted that don mclean's "vincent" was a beatles song. of course, we violently objected.
i also had one of the beatles anthology albums, in cassette! it comes in twos and if i remember correctly its costs P300 each. since there are three, it would amount to P900. but i got my anthology 1 as a gift so i really didnt spend anything. unfortunately, i wasnt able to buy the other 2 anthology albums. and i didnt like it back then because i thought it was a compilation of their hit singles. i couldnt appreciate the demo versions and their other not so popular songs. i dont think like that anymore.
i also remember mistaking paul mccartney for george harrison in their "Get Back" music video.
when i was a law school freshman and just got home from an all-nighter activity, and i only had an hour or two before i go back again to school, i played beatles song in my winamp playlist while working on my PC.
between the I am Sam soundtrack and Across the Universe soundtrack, i prefer the latter one.
john lennon is my favorite beatle.
