Hearing The Beatles for the first time in January 1964. I was 13. It was "I Want to Hold Your Hand." My life was going in one direction and 2 minutes and 24 seconds later everything had changed.
And you can't tell anyone today how pivotal these lads were in the history of popular music. They refuse to listen but prefer to dismiss and, too often, hate them for no discernible reason.
@hunkalove I wanted to see them when they came to play at the Cow Palace that year. Pop would’ve taken me, too, but the tickets sold out immediately. He bought me their album as a consolation prize. I still have it.
