After growing up swimming in the Beatles' music, it was fascinating to read about them from the perspective of a young person two generations removed. It is so important that love of great art be passed from generation to generation. Congratulations to Zack and Chris. I remember the pride I felt when my then 6-year-old son told his first grade class that his favorite singer was Roy Orbison! Rock on.

Thank you for reading. And appreciate the comment. I'll let Zack know. I was shocked he picked the topic. Shocked he let me read it AND said to letting me post it. And Roy is a great choice. I joke that the school bus ride (played top 40) was my nemesis. My kids and I bonded over music. Still do. Music is magic. Music is life.

Love this from Brad - and I will share this comment with Zack.

Zack will be interested to know that "The White Album" was originally released WITHOUT "The Beatles" in black print...but, was, instead, printed in white, raised letters (in the States)! Ya did great, Zack! And, please consider subscribing to Chris's "Shaped by Sound"!

Thanks so much!--Brad

Zack done you proud with that essay. Your thank you was so sweet and funny.

What a trip to the past with your life in music. I remember all of those tunes. Your parents were into some real earworms, top songs but I don't know how you ever got them out of your head.

I will give you my own childhood soundtrack. Where should we send it (email)?

You've reminded me of Juice Newton. I loved her cover of Angel of the Morning.

Your new music section is always helpful in adding more entries to my women in rock list, so thanks for that!

Thanks for reading. I loved his topic. Loved it even more that he allowed me to share. Opened my eyes to his way of thinking about the Beatles.

Glad you’re find more new music too!

I had not thought about queen of hearts in forever. Until I started writing. It’s all in there. Crazy.

What a great idea, Chris! I look forward to reading! You may mention it in the piece, but to do this….was it your idea or his? Just curious.

Right? That song was everywhere!

Zack has a “bad/awful” Beatles playlist he loves to torture me with. Even the brilliant ones have few “what were they thinking” tunes.

Thank you for reading. And commenting! Appreciated greatly.
