Annadog40 shrugged non-committally 
nope..

I wasn’t asking you a-hard-days-night-paul-11 Now let the others answer. I’m sure I’m not alone. 

I asked on page 78 

Feeling slightly philosophical, or something, so: 

Do you ever stop and marvel at how much you can love four people whom you’ve never met; whom you only know through music, photos, interviews, etc.; how you can love those four people so much and for so long? 

I have, often. It’s partly why I came here; non-Beatlemaniacs just don’t understand.

What I wanted to hear was something a little more in-depth than ‘nope’. I know you’re skilled at succinctness, but… why is the quote doing that thing?… I was being serious. I have those moments occasionally.

I don’t necessarily marvel at it, but I have given it some thought. They have been a part of my life for over 47 years. In that time I have read so much about them and know so much about them (although not as much as others in the Forum) that they seem more like family. It’s not just about the music anymore. Call it what you will, but I honestly do love all 4 and more (G. Martin, Brian, Mal, Neil and more). God spare me the days, but when Paul or Ringo leave this world, I hope like hell I hear about it in private at home. I am going to loose it no matter where I am.

I have never given it any thought. They are just part of my life and have been from a very young age. I’d spent time away from the Beatles yet somehow their music remained in my being, dancing around my head at the oddest moments.

Is that a look of derision or a glance that screams, come over to the dark side?

A look of derision. Or at least, it appears to be. But he may not be what he appears to be. He may be a losing walrus. You never know.

*thinking madly* 

Truth is dangerous on the Internet. No, don’t think I’ll go there. She might ask what is my real name, which will never see light of day on a forum, even this friendly one. Dare is… dangerous as well, especially considering her Annadog40ness, but it’s still all in fun and not anything serious. I hope. But what if she demands I go without smileys for a… week? Or post a video of myself singing ‘She’s A Woman ‘ on YouTube? I can’t do that! Maybe I’m foolish to reply at all. Yes, I think I’ll do that. Just ignore her question and hope it’s soon forgotten.

I do, SG. I wonder at the 360 I’ve done regarding this group. Wonderful whiplash.

I think you mean 180; 360 would mean that you loved them before you knew anything about them, then you loved them again.  Ooh, that was so preachily pedantic.  That sounded more like @Beatlebug on one of her grammar tirades than I (predicate nominative). I’m usually not so judgmental, especially on the Wild Wild West of the Web. 

I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

See, told you I am horrid with math. Yes, 180 would be correct, but really it was five 360s with a 180 at the end of it.

Silly Girl, who is your least favorite Beatle and why?

Warning: contents of spoiler may offend some parties.

He looks very sad about it, doesn’t he? I’m sorry Ringo. I do love you. Just maybe, possibly, perhaps, not quite as much as George and Paul and John. 

This is turning into a confession… a-hard-days-night-ringo-14

I was going to say “No”.

Which is even shorter than “nope”.
