not-a-trailer thoughts: The Beatles: Get Back

[orangerful]

Star Wars and The Beatles. It’s weird to lump these two together. To an outsider, they have very little in common, apart from being major forces in shaping popular culture forever. But you probably wouldn’t think of the two in the same moment unless you were taking part in some kind of quiz show.

But for me, they are two of the BIGGEST obsessions I

I don't know think we've ever spoken about The Beatles before, but I LOVE them. Growing up they have always been one of my favourite bands and were a huge influence on me. They were kind of a hand-me-down band in my family; my aunts were obsessed in the heyday, then that kinda passed to my mum and then onto me. When I was a toddler, Yellow Submarine was one of the only things that would shut me up, haha!

But I feel you; the drama and break up of the band is something that has always upset me, even if it happened decades before I was born.

Little trivia; my mum's dad used to drink with Paul every now and then! My dai used to spend a lot of time in Kintyre, and there were a few occasions he'd stop in and have a drink. As a child this story excited me so much because oh lordy the crush I had on Paul XD My aunts used to go nuts and I know there's autographs floating around the family somewhere!

That really is a cool story about your dai! Makes me happy to know that Paul would go and drink with the locals LOL.

I kind of discovered The Beatles on my own. My parents had a couple albums but didn't really listen to them, I really got into them after the Anthology series aired on TV and did a deep dive into the history and lore after that. I think my parents probably heard more Beatles in the mid-90s than they did in the 60s LOL

I am definitely looking forward to that documentary as well!
