The Beatles

If you didn't know, I love The Beatles! I just wanted to use this blog to talk about them. Well, first of all, their names were Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. Paul McCartney played bass guitar and sang, John Lennon play rhythm guitar and sang, George Harrison played lead guitar and sang, Ringo Starr played drums and, of course, sang. They officially became a group in 1960, but they didn't have a drummer. This was a problem, they tried many different drummers and none were quite right until they met Ringo. They all had a similar hair style. They first became famous in the U.K. They traveled to America where around 3,000 screaming fans were there to greet them. From 1960-1970 it was called Beatlemania. They recorded many albums, and filmed a few movies. After the band broke up in 1970, all four members embarked upon successful solo careers.

Just last night I watched The Beatles' first movie (I can't write the actual name because then my sister will know). My favorite Beatle is George Harrison. He didn't get enough credit. By the time he was 16, Lennon and the others had accepted him as one of the band; because Harrison was the youngest member of the group, he was looked upon as a kid by the others for another few years. He was often known as "the quiet one".

Next, I am going to watch Help! starring the Beatles.
