Being a Beatles fan
Tuesday, November 27, 2007
I'm not a fan since I learned to walk like pretty big number of people out there, but I've loved their music since I can remember. I called myself a fan for the very first time at the age of 18 in 2003. Even if I liked them, I never dared to call myself a fan 'cause I barely recognized who sang what, so it was until I knew a little bit more that I called myself a fan, BUT, I liked them mostly because of the music, so it wasn't until 2005 that I got hooked by their lives and stories, that's when I started to research more about them and learn things I totally ignored. (I learn new things every day, seriously). Anyway, at first, it wasn't easy... I was known as a rocker (even though, I totally hate labels) a rebel, the weird girl that always wore black xD. And the kind of music I listened to is completely different to the Beatles' music (Linkin Park, Slipknot, Korn, Mudvayne, Kitty, etc, I still listen to them anyway haha). But there was these people that thought they were Music Elitist when they're not, anyway, there was always this stupid comment round my head for years "You don't deserve them, forget about them and stick with Linkin Park" firstly, they were literally telling me Linkin Park was a bad band, suckers, what do they know? but as I was saying, it really bothered me those kind of comments, eventually, after The Beatles, I started to listen to bands/artists like Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, The Who, Pink Floyd, etc (Not as much as The Beatles of course) so then a friend told me "Oh, you're learning, now you kind of deserve 'em" ¬¬' who would have thought that now he comes to me to ask me about The Beatles, HA!. There's also these old people that just can't believe one can be a Beatles' fan and they're always asking you stupid questions to prove that you really are, funny thing is that I always end up knowing more than them too, again, HA!. The questions goes for "Who was the first Beatles' drummer?" "Pete Best" "Are you sure?" "Yes, he was the son of the owner of the Casbah and played the drums, the guys needed a drummer so they asked Pete, but kicked him out because Ringo was better, BTW Ringo was in a band called Rory Storm & The Hurricanes, Stu was The Beatles' first bassist but died and Paul took his place, need more?" and they feel really stupid afterwards xD. They should never doubt a fan knowledge, they could have lived it, but we have INTERNET hahaha. But on the wonderful side of being a Beatles' fan is that their music is awesome, they were four real human beings, with flaws and such, they smoke, they cursed, they were/are also really really funny and witty. They were original, controversial and honest. They did what they wanted, they said what they wanted, they acted how they wanted (ok, at least after they got rid of the clean boys image). There are also like a billion of other devoted fans like me, which whom are AWESOME too, I've met so many wonderful people through this fandom it makes me love 'em even more (yes, that's possible). We (the fans) are crazy and live Beatlemania 40 years later not caring if we scare people away. It's just awesome being a fan. The guys are also so normal you kind of feel like you do REALLY know them, back then, they were so exposed to the press their personal lives are known all around the globe, so their mistakes as their success are well known by the fans. Yes, it sucks that they were treated like things or possessions, but thanks to that we feel a bit more related to them in a deeper way. Like me with Linkin Park, I love 'em, yes I do, but I only know little things about them, I don't really know them, but with The Beatles, I feel like I do (and I know I'm not the only one). Actually, over the communities, we have such talks it sounds like we have psychoanalyzed them one by one until we get to understand what they acted that way, and to be quite honest, lots of people seems to be right. Also, to make it even funnier, we have the music, yes, but we also have a lot of funny footage like Piramus and Thisbe and other great interviews like "Ready Steady Go" in which the girl asked Paul if it's true that he sleeps with his eyes open and he answered something like "Well, I haven't actually seen me sleeping" HAHAHA, or the Anthologies, but better yet, their movies, they're hilarious, witty and some times also very sentimental, intriguing, and sad (Let it Be). Or kinda weird like Magical Mystery Tour. As a Beatles fan you have something sure, you'll never get bored, not of their music, not of their movies, they're simply AWESOME!. Being a Beatles' fan is something you'll never ever regret. Labels: the beatles

My name is Maria but everyone knows me as
Chester... as the site's name
explains it, I was born a fan, I have just too many fandoms to make a site
for every single one of them, that's why I decided to make a site for them
all. I'm going to be an English teacher and I love this language way too
much (I actually use it on the net way more than my mother's language). I'm
22 years old but I still feel like I'm 12, life is happier that way. I'm
blind as a bat but I love to read, write and draw (the last one just where
there's a LOT of light). I don't believe in trends and I consider myself
unique, I love to laugh but I can be really explosive too.
My dog's name is Paul after
Paul McCartney, one of my biggest
fandoms, his full name is actually Paul Dylan Presley hehe I'll never have
enough dogs to name them after my fandoms haha!. He's my beautiful baby and
even though he can some times get on my nerves I love him way too much.
I love watching movies, I've seen and I own so many movies it can't be
healthy *lol* my latest addition (Sept 6th, 2007) was
Down With Love of
Ewan McGregor. My favorite movie's
probably Moulin Rouge because I've
seen it more than 10 times. But I fell really hard for
Giant of James Dean. But choosing
just one movie is like trying to choose for ONE favorite song, so I have a
lot of fave movies.
My favorite actors are from Elvis to Noah Wyle, if I've seen so many movies
it's because I watch one (i.g. Constantine) and I get obsessed with the lead
actor (in this case Keanu Reeves) I save myself the problem to think about
what to see when I go to rent movies, I only walk through the place looking
for movies of Keanu Reeves and after I've seen all of the movies they have
of this actor I get obsessed with another one and watch almost all of his
movies, and that's why I've seen like a thousand movies haha. But when I
really get obsessed I buy the movies, like the movies of Ewan McGregor, Jude
Law, James Dean, Elvis, etc. (Even though I bought
Rebel Without A Cause before I fell
for James Dean haha).
I have a huuuge obsession with Superman
and Star Wars, I even bought a kids
outfit just because it had Brandon Routh's picture on it, I don't even have
little brothers haha.
About Music, phh... my favorite subject, I listen to all kind of music, I'm
a good critic, I don't hate a singer or band just because, if I don't like a
singer or a band it's because I've heard their work and I didn't like it, I
don't follow trends, not even in music, so I can like pop as much as I can
like the heaviest rock if the music and lyrics are good or I just simply
like them for the silliest reason. My bands are The Beatles, Linkin Park,
The Doors and Nirvana as I've mentioned before. I've been a fan of Linkin
Park for 6 years, and 4 years for the rest. I have a huuuge collection of
things of this bands, DVD's, CD's, Callendars, T-shirts, Posters, etc.
I watch movies or listen to music just as much as I read (well, not that
much 'cause I actually don't have enough time to do them all, ALL the time)
but I read a lot, just like music or films, I don't have a specific type of
books, I like them all, I've read from J.K. Rowling to Oscar Wilde, right
now I'm reading a book called Demian, I haven't had the time to finish it,
I'm already in the middle of the book and I've only sat to read it once.
Oh and as you can see, I love to write about me hehe, a bit egocentric, I
call it the rockstar complex haha. But I guess that's all, if you want to
know more about me all you have to do is ask.

ABOUT
I made this site because I have a lot of fandoms. I like
a lot of movies like I like a lot of bands and I already have too much sites
about my favorite bands, so the idea of this one was to talk about everything I
like here instead of making another 10000 sites. I hope I can
make it as interesting as possible, but if you don't like what you see, I'm
sorry... I only talk about what I like. Thanks for
visiting the site and hope you had a great time.
