#39 I'll be back - The Beatles

I am going to be a Beatles expert soon. If I ever entered a tv game show, and needed a specialist subject, I think I could quite easily nominate The Beatles 1960-1964. In about an hour, I could probably extend that out to 1965.

I'm watching the Anthology box set. It's quite long. 11 hours to be a bit more precise. But I figure I may as well. There are worse ways to spend your evenings, right? Anyway, I have learnt quite a lot of useless info in the past 3 hours (not all in one go - it's ok!) but mainly I have realised that I quite like them. Yes, I'm sure I should have realised this well before now, but I hadn't. I mean, sure, I liked them, knew the words to most of the songs all of that, but I actually really LIKE them now. So much so, I think the next purchases will be the back catalogue. In chronological order of course - we're going to do this right.

Anyway, I have one more part to watch before bed, so I will go and do that now, and most probably change my favourite Beatle in the process (that has happened quite a bit in the past few hours....I just can't commit to one!)

In the meantime, this is a lovely song that I didn't really know until the end of the third part. I like John just for this.
