I always liked the Beatles songs I heard on the radio, but I didn't get into the Beatles (or learn to tell them apart!) until last year. I watched Get Back and found their interpersonal dynamics so intriguing I wanted to learn more. Then I started to really like Paul, to become intrigued by mclennon, and then all of them. I can't actually pick a favorite Beatle, they're all so interesting!!

last year i wanted a hobby that's not on my phone -> decide to learn electric bass -> doing james jamerson research -> paul mccartney mention? -> paul mccartney is a bass player? -> beatles are a rock band? -> ao3 will certainly give me the info i need delivered in a way i enjoy -> whoops

I was acting in a play about a magical being who grants wishes, playing a kid with a guitar and a dream of becoming just like The Beatles. Originally, I was supposed to sing “Hey Jude” on stage to highlight that moment.

It worked well enough in rehearsal. Until days before opening night, the director cut the song. “Hey Jude” was gone and removed from the play, and I had to sing a national song instead.

I got pretty upset about it. My pre-rehearsal music slowly turned into “Hey Jude”, then “Oh! Darling”, then the whole first album… then well...
