Being a second generation fan (born thirteen years after the Beatles’ breakup and becoming a fan in 1995), I have always been fascinated by the stories of original fans. Be they from the Liverpool days, Hamburg fans, Beatlemaniacs, Apple Scruffs – it all sounds exciting and intriguing.
After reading some accounts in old magazines, and online, I’ve decided to try compiling a collection of Beatle fan memories on my little Beatles fan site, That Magic Feeling (http://anothergirl83.tripod.com).
However, I need your help: Please share your fan memories! Are you an original fan or a newer generation fan? How long have you loved the Beatles? Who’s your favorite? What are your favorite memories? Have you actually met a Beatle? Anything you’d like to share regarding our favorite foursome, please do so! Send your e-mails to beatlegirlakr83@hotmail.com !

A few guiding questions...

o How long have you been a Beatles fan?
o How did you become interested in the Beatles?
o Who is your favorite Beatle?
o Have you seen a Beatle or all four live? If so, please feel free to share your memories.
o Have you met a Beatle?
o Do you collect Beatles memorabilia?
o How do others react to your love of the Beatles?
o Have you visited well-known Beatles sites such as Abbey Road, other London places, Liverpool etc.?
o What’s the craziest thing you’ve done as a fan?
o If you’ve been a fan since the sixties, how do you view the development of the Beatles and their music?

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for sharing your Beatle memories!

I assume I can just answer them here?? Here I go:

o How long have you been a Beatles fan? For about 5 years
o How did you become interested in the Beatles? It runs in the family, trust me. My mom always liked (and still likes) to listen to them and I sort of caught on.
o Who is your favorite Beatle? George. :heart3:
o Have you seen a Beatle or all four live? If so, please feel free to share your memories. No, unfortunatley. Gah! I was born too damn late.
o Have you met a Beatle? No, unfortunatley.
o Do you collect Beatles memorabilia? Yes!
o How do others react to your love of the Beatles? Some of my close friends are catching on to loving the Beatles. Other people will just sort of go along with it and tolerate.
o Have you visited well-known Beatles sites such as Abbey Road, other London places, Liverpool etc.? No. *sniff*
o What’s the craziest thing you’ve done as a fan? Cover my wall with Beatles posters and pics... eventually I had to start collaging!
o If you’ve been a fan since the sixties, how do you view the development of the Beatles and their music? Unfortunatley, I cannot answer that one, being a third generation fan. :sad3:

Honey, you can't forget your wish fulfillment dream about seeing George naked. Everybody under the sun knows you want to see George naked, so I think that dream probably counts.

Thanks to that One Sweet Dream, everybody at Links knows you, Cloud!

Girl, when you have a pleasant dream, boy, you really have one!
