Wie geht's?
Obsessed? Moi?
It may look like that from the outside (Jacky posed a question t'other day - You'd cut your arms and legs off to bring John Lennon back wouldn't you?) but on the inside The Beatles have been a constant powerful presence and loyal friends who've been alongside me since watching them on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 (my memories here as well plus a clip of I Want To Hold Your Hand). And they keep on showing up!
I'm not alone. It's also not my fault (okay - yes, my music rooms surround me with Fabs posters/prints and memorabilia such as in the above picture).
Mojo Magazine regularly have cover stories on them, books like Ian Leslie's John & Paul keep coming on a regular basis (I warmly recommend his book as it takes a fresh look at that seminal relationship - my playlist is here), records keep appearing (Anthology 4 is the latest) and their musical and cultural influence persists (I use the word Beatlesque to describe a lot of music on my music blog).
Imagine a world without The Beatles? No thanks.
Love and peace - Warren Ono Purdy
P.S. I Love You...erm...I mean - I'll always be true (to answer The Shirelles question).
