Viceland - HAVE YOU HEARD THESE GUYS?!? - The Beatles Saved My Life

I play the Beatles One CD over and over again. They called it that because every single song on it hit number one on the charts. "Help" and "In My Life" are my two favorites. I think my least-favorite is "Ballad of John and Yoko." I'm not that big of a Yoko fan. I think she broke up the group. I'm not blaming her—I think Yoko is a good person and I think she was very attractive too.

The Beatles are my all-time favorite group, but I wouldn't say I'm one of those crazy, obsessive Beatles experts. "Hey Jude" was their biggest hit in America—it was number one for nine weeks. It's a beautiful song and some people think that Paul was talking about John but he said "Jude" so John wouldn't know. "Love Me Do" was their first single from their first British album in 1962, but it hit number one in America in 1964. I think of early Beatles when I think of this song, because it's one of their earliest songs. This was back when they still wore matching suits. "From Me to You" reminds me of my friend John. We go to all three days of the Fest for Beatles fans every summer. The first one was the summer of 1977, which was the greatest summer of my life because it had The Gong Show, Farrah Fawcett, and the Beatles. It was August 19 and 20 at the Palmer House in downtown Chicago. My friend and me did a Beatles act where we played badminton rackets as guitars and we sang along to Beatles songs. I played Paul and he played John. It was great fun!

"Help" is my favorite Beatles song. They did it on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1965, the day before they played Shea Stadium in August of 1965, and then they showed the performance on The Ed Sullivan Show on September 12, 1965. They did six songs on that show: "I Feel Fine," "I'm Down," "Act Naturally," "Ticket to Ride," "Yesterday," and "Help." I like "Help" so much because I often feel like I want to cry out for help. I'm lonely. I wish I had a girlfriend. It's like, "Help me if you can, I'm feeling down. I do appreciate you being 'round. Help me get my feet back on the ground. Won't you please, please help me?" I can identify with that. I don't know if I ever want to have a kid, but maybe I could have a baby if I meet the right woman and get married someday.

john, paul and i would frequently have group sex. i would suck paul's six or seven inch cock and john would fuck me in my tight japanese pussy until they both let massive jizz loads all over my rock hard nipples, and into my awaiting, eager mouth. so now that everyones cock is rock har and pussies are dripping wet go masturbate and think of me getting gangbanged!!

Ten years ago,when I was seventeen, I went to rehab for a herion addiction and I sent a message to my boyfriend down the hall that read..."George(Harrison), it's been a long long long time, love Patty(Boyd)"
I had on four quanadine patches, a teaddy bear and a copy of Tibetian Book of Living and Dying and a copy of Revolver which was I bought instead of a bag of dope. The Beatles meant the world to me then, thanks for sharing your story.

You have no idea what it's like working with a narcissistic wanker like John, a petulant tosspot like Paul, and a moronic dildo like George... "She loves you yeah, yeah, yeah"??? You call those lyrics? What are you, 6? "Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away"??? WOW, it rhymes, let's give him a fucking award, what a genius! But would they let me write? No! Fucking narcissistic fuck heads. Frankly, anyone who has the bad taste to write a song like "Imagine" deserves what he gets. It's a good thing I didn't get to him first - it would be hard to immortalize a guy found doused in urine and tied to a tree with his own bowels.

And La-Dee-Da to you Ringo, you monkey.

this article is the second one in which one of these special people refers to a fest for the beatles... beatlefest, fest for beatles... someone should tell him that fest is just a stupidization--read heuristic term, abbrev.--for festival. and why the hell did the strokes' first single have to be called last nite? fucking stupidizing language. and dont take the piss for my using stupidize..it's purely heuristic

Jude was for Julien, but John loves himself so much that he thought it was about himself. This guy is great and the Beatles are still the single greatest thing to happen to music ever.

Hey, you know what? The Beatles DO fucking rock. As much as I love "neo-post-grunge-bleep-blap-bloop", how fun is it to put one of their older records on on like, saturday afternoon or something? A lot is what.

Oh yeah! Remember how FUCKING CRAZY those girls would go for them too?
