The Beatles

Let me start this entry with many thanks to the sisters Krishnamohan, who first brought me to my everlasting love for John, Paul, George and Ringo.

For a moment, let us set aside the pop culture phenoms that they were, their massive impact on musicians down the years, and their contribution to the world of music, and instead, just examine the joy their music has brought me. I can not explain how much I love them, but here's an indicator, I cried when George died, and still sometimes tear up when I hear his songs. I hate Heather Mills with a vengance, and Yoko Ono boils my blood. But here's the biggest clue, I call them by their first name, as if we all went to college together, and still pop by each other's homes for a spot of tea.

I can't write about them without going crazy, so instead I will just list some of my favourite songs just now, because my favourites of theirs change from week to week. There are just so many to choose from, and they are each as wonderful as the other.

I'm only sleeping

Revolution

oh dear god, I could go on and on forever, but I will stop. For now. Again my thanks to the Krishnamohan family, especially to Gooseberry, who loves them as much as I do, whom I love even more.
