Same here, except I wasn't really aware of them until Ed Sullivan, and they didn't really affect me for another year. In '65 I saw Help! in the theater, and when the movie started girls were screaming at them on the screen!

I was 12 when the first album came out and 13 when they did the Sullivan show. I was also one of the very many who got a guitar soon after...

I also saw "A Hard Day's Night" when it came out at our local theater in San Francisco. When I say I saw it, I mean that literally; there were girls screaming out the Beatles names before the movie even started and, once the film did start, there was a non-stop wall of screams and I had to go back some time later to actually be able to hear the dialogue...

I heard something about this on the radio today and my first thought was whether or not Steve would post something about it.

Oh, and the Beatles are/were/will always be awesome. That is all.

LOL.

Actually I've been awaiting this day for weeks now, hoping that no one else would think of it first.

Cool. Six years from now you should start a thread to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their first album.

When you do, don't forget to mention that their most famous songs were ripped off from other people, without credit.
