The Beatles

The great thing about this blog is the fact that I can write about whatever I want to, whenever I want to. Tonite, I wanted to spend some time writing about something that is near and dear to my heart. The Beatles. I am sitting here right at this very minute listening to them. Specifically, "She Loves You", which I believe is the greatest pop song of all time. I grew up with The Beatles and as I have gotten older I think that my kids someday and kids of today will never get to experience what my parents did. You see The Beatles changed music and created something that can never be duplicated. If you ever run into anyone that says they have not heard a Beatle song you should turn and run because that person is not from Earth. I can say from experience though what it feels like to hear Beatle music up close. I have seen Paul Mccartney twice in the last 4 years. Both times I have left the City of Pittsburgh to do it. The first time I went to Cleveland, Ohio to see him. The second time I went to Philadelphia, Pa. to see him. I dropped the gauntlet and have promised that if he is in my time zone I will find a way to see him. Anyway, when I was in Cleveland, Mr. Mccartney opened with a great song in Hello, Goodbye. It was what he played third though that showed me the true power of great music. See he jumped into All My Loving and guess what!!!??? I was like all of those black and white videos you are used to seeing. I started bawling like a baby. It was truly a great moment because I looked around and a lot of others were crying along with me. Fast Forward 3 years later in Philadelphia and at the end of another truly mesmerizing performance, Mr. Mccartney pulled out Please, Please Me. Again, the tears started down my face and on top of that you could actually hear me gasp because all of the air was taken out of my lungs. Why am I telling you all this??? Well because I felt like it and I want the day to come when I pass on to know that The Beatles and their legacy will be passed on and forever cemented in history.
