The Beatles

My dad just drove me back to Tech today and I started thinking about a lot of car rides that I have taken. It’s sort of funny. My dad and I always have conversations about what went on in our lives while apart and then listen to the Beatles. We both love music and he influenced me to like much older music than most people my age would listen to.

For some reason, I have this strange fascination with the Beatles. Their music is just so unique, but there is still one album which still eludes my grasp… “Hey Jude”. I have tried and tried to get a hold of this CD, but whenever I get to a store, they never have it. I suppose it would be simple to just go on Amazon and buy it online, but I have this thing where I want to personally go and buy a CD versus just ordering it. The stores always have the twangs of “A Hard Day’s Night” or the eerily calming sounds of “The White Album”, yet I can’t get my hands on “Hey Jude”.

The Beatles are one of those timeless groups whose music never get old and still can evoke the same feelings across the generation gap. On Friday night, I watched the movie, “A Hard Day’s Night”. Although it had basically no storyline, it was still entertaining all the same. Through that short movie, I basically met who each “Beatle” was and sort of got a better understanding of their music.

It’s somewhat frustrating for a 19 year old to get frustrated over something as silly as finding a CD especially since I am making the trouble myself. I think there is some pride involved in finding something that you have been searching for. In finding the missing piece, the puzzle is complete and you can see the entire picture.
