You like quote pages on Facebook because the quote is by John.

If I seem to act unkind, it's only me, it's not my mind that is confusing things.

Till There Was You said:

I love the Beatles…and I always will. I've been obsessed since I was in fifth grade (three years ago).

  • When you have them all over your walls.
  • You have done a Beatles Role Play with your friends — and act like everything is normal afterwords.
  • You shush the heck out of anyone that ruins a Beatles song as soon as it starts playing.
  • You turn on KEarth 101.1 (local oldies music section), and you hear a Beatles song/Beatles song given to someone else and think that you have a Beatles radar.
  • Own more Beatles merchandise than anything else.
  • Have more vinyl than CDs.

Waaaaaaay more, but I think you get it ;^)

Ah, yes, the Beatles Radar. I go out to dinner with my parents every week and when I think I hear traces of a Beatles song or a Beatle voice, I half-listen to them and half-listen to the music until at some point I interrupt them and say, “This is a Beatles/Wings/Paul/John/George/Ringo song!”

I don’t know why it makes me so happy to hear them out in public, but it always does. Last time, I detected “A Hard Day’s Night” from a very faint radio way across the room. I was impressed with myself. I should put that skill on my résumé.

The Beatles Radar is a wonderful thing. For example:

*drives along listening to the radio*

“Hmm, I've just got the strangest urge to switch the station to Q107. it's gotta happen.”

*switches*

Revolution . YES.

*switches when the song ends to XL103*

I Saw Her Standing There . And Beatles Radar saves the day again!

One time, my uncle and I were at Target when “Single Ladies” came on, and he started dancing to it. With the butt slap and everything. And I was hiding in another aisle, and he was like “Come on, girlfriend. This is my jam!” and when it ended, “Imagine ” came on and I nearly screamed. He was like “No.”

And then, I was at dinner with my grandma, and a cover of a Beatles song came on, and I was like “YEESSSS!” and my grandmother, sixty-nine years old this year, said “No.”

I salute the lady who screamed "I love you Paul!" at a tribute band's concert.

YKYAHBFW: When you go to a really lame school dance and have the urge to give the DJ's your iPod to plug in and play good, actually danceable music for once. Ohh, if Twist And Shout came on, I would dance like there is no tomorrow, but everyone else would be confused and or hate it.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 (related) Once I was at a region dance and I asked for Beatles music. The DJ couldn't find any but put on the original “Twist And Shout .” I sang along at the top of my lungs.

YKYAHCBF when in a party with your friends you are playing drums in The Beatles Rock Band and you…

 

– move the sticks the same way Ringo does when he's not playing (you know, swing them)

– are playing the songs by album, finish one, you know which one is next, and you get disappointed when your nephew doesn't have it.

– guess the difficulty of the drums or guitar.

– yell at your friend who sucks big time at the guitar “For Lennon's sake” or “Harrison help him!!”

– and your friend (also a Beatle fan) sing along with the song. (even when you don't have mics plugged)

– say very matter-of-factly “The Beatles were never booed” when someone asks why you don't get boos when you lose the game.

– say “Anybody who underrates Ringo as a drummer should try Tomorrow Never Knows Within You Without You in expert mode”

– scream “I've got blisters on my fingers” after 4 hrs of playing.

– understand why Ringo got blisters on his fingers. It seems that playing drums with rings makes that. a-hard-days-night-ringo-12

Here comes the sun….. Scoobie-doobie……

Something in the way she moves…..attracts me like a cauliflower…

Bop. Bop, cat bop. Go, Johnny, Go.

I can't even do it on hard! Ringo is definitely a good drummer.

 

YKYaHBFW… your knowledge of the Beatles helps you prove a point.

So right now I'm watching the Strokes perform on Coachella webcast on youtube. 

me: julesheart

friend: *julian

me: jules is a nickname for julian, I'm still right

friend: I didn't know that

me: yeah like in Hey Jude written for julian. his nickname was jules. the song was almost called hey jules. but paul didnt think it fit so its was changed to jude

See proving logical facts with the Beatles.

Well we all shine on like the moon, the stars, and the sun.

You know you're a hard core Beatles fan when…

You go see a tribute concert for the second time.

Like, I just got home from watching Rain . It. Was. Epic. Second time I've gone, since I went for my eleventh birthday. Then, since I live in LA, and we were in Hollywood, and I went to Amoeba, and I fell in love. At Rain , I bought the three CDs they made, and at Amoeba, I bought the 45s for “Do You Want To Know A Secret ?” and “Thank You Girl ” along with Lennon and McCartney Songs Gave Away. I love life.

I salute the lady who screamed "I love you Paul!" at a tribute band's concert.

a-hard-days-night-ringo-8 You just need to ask me.

 

“¡¡¡Tengo ampollas en mis dedos!!!!!”

 

The actual one should be “¡Se me ampollaron los dedos!” but it doesn't sound that cool. It sounds like you hatched some blisters in your fingers LOL!!! (ampollar sounds like empollar, which means hatch)

For the new kids on the forum. This was one of the awesomest moments in my life. This happened last May 28th in Mexico City during Up and Coming Tour. I was part of that.

a-hard-days-night-paul-6Thanks for the translation mith. Now, I just need to learn how to pronounce it without getting all tongue-tied!

BTW – thanks for getting that video out again. I smile every time I see it – so cool.

I mean, I was flattered and all, and I knew my speech wasn't that great, but yes, I thought of that video, and that song. As to you, Mith, I can say only one thing; Pleasure to be of service!

I heard he was in Mexico last year. My friend, who's Indian, and I were talking about it. Since I'm Mexican, I said, “I wonder if the Beatles ever went to Mexico…” and she started laughing, saying “I was going to ask if they ever went to India.”

Weeeeell, I'm not really sure what parts of Mexico. My great-grandmother on my father's side was born in Mexico. Rumor has it that great-grandpa Sedano picked her up on a horse…or something. And they got married in America. As for my grandfather on my father's side, he's Honduran. We have a Jewish (not Hebrew, exactly. Just a lot of Jews have the name) last name, and it means “pear tree” in Portuguese. My mother's mother was born in Panama and immigrated in her teens, I think. Her first husband (my grandfather) was a professional boxer in So-Cal, and was born in America… His mother's history, I don't know about. All I know is that there's a picture of her dressed up in traditional Native American clothing as a baby. Short history of my family.

Okay, scratch that. My grandmother's (father's side) family is from Sonora, and my grandfather (mother's side) comes from Calexico.

I salute the lady who screamed "I love you Paul!" at a tribute band's concert.
