-What To Live By-
Four young gents from Liverpool once told me, "The 사랑 당신 Make Is Equal To The 사랑 당신 Take." And in retrospect, they couldn't be any 더 많이 right. Many people try to live 의해 one philosophy, like "Give and 당신 shall receive," 또는 "There are no foolish questions, only foolish people." Bt, in reality, this is not a soap box 기사 about philosophies to live by, but how one rock group changed my life forever.
-The Early Stages-
Rock 음악 has never been a stranger to me, since I have experienced it since my dad first blasted Springsteen on my way 집 from the hospital. I can sing 당신 lyrics from "The Rising", "Born in the USA" and countless others. But, even though I spent the early years of my childhood belting out Joe Cocker and Elvis, I never felt like I discovered rock 음악 until I entered Junior High. 의해 that time, I was discovering 더 많이 and 더 많이 bands. A friend of mine who had moved from California, introduced me to AC/DC, Led Zeppelin and AeroSmith. I was amazed at the pure joy of the music. This is what grew my foundations for rock.
-Who Are You-
No other band, (excluding the Fab Four) has ever influenced me like The Who. Pete Townshend, Roger Daltey, ad the rest of them, they showed me a whole new side of Wasted Teenagers and Pinball Wizards. They showed me a side that I had not yet experienced and I loved it. I began to buy their songs on Itunes, listen to them before bed, and all out worship them. I mouthed the lyrics whenever I was bored, and tried to get my friend into them, which I did. The who opened up a side of 음악 to me that I had never yet gone through. I thought them to be the one true rock god. Then, a fewmonths later, my dad came 집 from the mall, with a copy of Abbey Road.
-BeatleMania-
At first, if 당신 can believe it, The Beatles were just another cool rock band to me, where 당신 listened to them on the radio, but 당신 didn't blast it. I liked htme didn; 사랑 them. 당신 get the drift, they were good, not great in my book. So my life went on for a while, like this, until about 8th grade. That was the 년 that, of course, I got my first 아이팟 and along with it, recieved a copy of Sgt. Peppers. I was amazed 의해 the songs, the vocals, and just basically the music. from there on out, I was obsessed with the group. I was plugged into my 아이팟 at school, listening to them at 집 on my computer, and then on my boombox before I went to bed. The Beatles had totally caught me 의해 suprise, but there was no way I was letting them go.
-And In the End-
The Beatles have touched me in a way that I couldn't possibly explain. It hit me like a bus going 50, and since then I have never gotten off. I will always 사랑 the four gents from Liverpool, and that's how it is going to stay. I know that I will experience other amazing music, but 당신 never forget the basics.
