But George's Crackerbox Palace (I think) was one of my first 45's and I listened to it over and over again. I didn't know he was a Beatle at the time. <br /><br />I got my Beatles education when I worked at Deli during my college days. My boss was a big Beatles fan and he'd quiz me. I had no idea that they had done so many of the songs that I'd loved--like Lucy in the Sky. <br /><br />Although I missed the special the other night as we had it on the Olympics and didn't even check to see what else was on :(<br /><br />Good post!Margiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843006118151762550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-77173099589987203812014-02-11T08:06:30.031-05:002014-02-11T08:06:30.031-05:00I was drawn to John, too, and to his pretty first ...I was drawn to John, too, and to his pretty first family.

The tribute was excellent and reminded me once again of the Beatles' musicianship and inventiveness. At various times I adored Paul, wanted to mother Ringo (who looks amazing at 73), and was darkly drawn to John, but in the end it is George's beautiful soul that has left a hole in my heart. Though we lived only a short distance from Philly, I was not allowed to go to the concert there. I was permitted to see the Beach Boys (good, clean-cut American boys, you know) at the same venue a week later.

I loved the Beatles but I didn't have a favorite. That spot went to Bob Dylan, who was my hero from the very beginning. Well, okay, Elvis came first, then Bob. But I think the Beatles absolutely changed music. Everything was so la-la until they got into their creative stuff and that's when they got good and they brought a lot of other bands along with them..

Thank God, we don't have to go back and do it again.
