You know you’re a hardcore Beatles fan when you can’t explain even the simplest little Beatley trivia thing without going into the greatest of detail on things that may or may not have any bearing on what you originally intended to explain. ahdn_george_01 

Omg yes! I can’t talk about the Beatles because then I go on major tangents and end up telling their whole life story.

ahdn_paul_06Oh Christ, been there done that. It’s at the point that their eyes start glazing over that I ask, “too much detail, eh?”.

Been there. A simple 30 second answer becomes a 5 minute explanation ending in the askee asking the original question again.

I think you got them all pretty spot-on. Paul could be a ruler too, and I think Ringo could be a caregiver, and George could be sage. I just recently did archetypal criticism in english class and I think most people probably could fit under a couple of them.

…you tell someone who thinks they are a hardcore Beatles fan about all the books you’ve read about the Beatles. 

He asked, “how much more can you read about than that?”. I told him about three more books that I asked Zag to get me for Christmas.

you quote Beatles Christmas Records banter at people in the hope they ask you what’s that incredible comedy about and you can forthwith make your dissertation. I always feel a bit like Gilda Radner in the Rutles and have to stop myself.

Turning manically toward the speaker of mainstream radio when you hear the first three notes of “Everybody Talks” with the false hope it is some modern rendition of “Twist And Shout ” but then realizing you are a complete idiot.

What’ ‘Everybody Talks’? Never heard of it. If its modern (ie within the last 15 years) then thats not a surprise.

When you listen to part of ‘The Barber of Seville’ and it just sounds weird due to the lack of Beatles weirdness. I’m sitting there waiting to here lots of silly noises, coughing and shouts of “‘I Need You ‘ by George Harrison “.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 “Everybody Talks” is a song that upon Googling is by Neon Trees, made in 2012. It’s pretty awful besides the one part at the beginning.

….Hardcore fan when squealing in public when finding out they’ll be on streaming services and then after being questioned getting into an argument of “the Beatles are the best band in the world” with an opinion about as strong as “because I said so.” I could’ve done so much better than that. a-hard-days-night-ringo-13

I’ve had several Beatles dreams over the past few months. I’ll wake up in the middle of the night thinking I need to post them here, but I fall back asleep and forget them.

Perhaps I should have posted this in the Pet Peeves thread.ahdn_paul_02
