why beatles why now

I'm exactly 3 weeks out today from incidentally pressing play on Peter Jackson's Beatles LOTR one ramblin' night and watching for maybe half an hour tops before before being so flooded. Flooded with the memories that in fact I knew every Beatles song back in the day--my first musical love as a teenager that I had just wandered off eventually from and forgotten. Flooded with the flash realization that every notion I'd had of the band AND their songs back then was highly restricted by my youth but also by the simplistic band mythologizing and lack of direct media of the 90's.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this, but surely I can't be the only one with this mind melting experience. How did you get here, blown away by the Beatles in year 2024?

#the beatles #get back #beatles lotr #gonna also tag #mclennon #because peter jackson so edits for that c'mon #it is ridiculous #my entire car driving time which is unfortunately lengthy is now the passionate wailing of 70's Macca #the 90s anti-mccartney propaganda was so strong i include the previous tag just because my teenage self would have never even THOUGHT #I would literally angsty teenage cry over john lennon #which he does deserve some of #but we can finally look back now and see how over the top and terrifyingly effective the yoko/yokolennon estate propaganda was #especially in terrorizing paul mccartney!#annnywayyy there's a post in tags for ya
