This was a pure joy to read. I am reminded of what Kurt Vonnegut said: “I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, ‘The Beatles did’.”

Nice to know I am not getting old alone... If you were/are a Beatles fan this is an interesting read and you will be pleased to be told things what you already knew!

"Think for yourself cause I won't be there with you"~ Lennon and McCartney...

This book along with a new sketchpad was a lovely birthday present from Tamika... She tells me she has adopted me as her Dad!A darling girl that helps us run the "Hideaway"

By the way, I read this one in SPANISH. This is a great list--even if you are not a huge Beatles fan. Great photo selection as well. My favorite part of reading it? Listening to the songs on my MP3 player as I went through the descriptions so I noticed the bass line or drum beat discussed.

Now, if you want a list that goes even farther, check out Here, There and Everywhere by Spignesi and Lewis.

Interesting stories about many songs. Lots of trivia for Beatle fans.
