Message: <blockquote data-quote="DarrenGMiller" data-source="post: 2797562" data-attributes="member: 23174">My brother grew up listening to the Beatles while they were still together and I remember sitting in his room as a small child while he spun vinyl and the Beatles became something more than just music.  I wore a "Reunite the Beatles" shirt while in elementary school and I cried when I found out that I was born on pretty much the same day the Beatles formally broke up.  They were always, to me, more than their music.  They were like a mythology.Now my mother is an Elvis person.  Her brother (my uncle) was actually an impersonator for some time in the 70's.  My father is a Beatles person, as he always took my brother to concert and they saw Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison in concert several times.  I took my brother to what would be his last Paul McCartney concert before he died and I inherited all of those storied Beatle records, some of them very rare imports and picture disks (my father had a friend who worked at Capitol Records) that I grew up listening to in my big brother's room.  I also inherited a large number of their CD's, videos, cassettes, etc.  He was a collector of all things Beatles.During my childhood, there was the same thing with Yankees fans and Mets fans where I grew up.  We were, as a family, Mets fans and still are." and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make"- Paul McCartneyTo my brother:"Golden slumbers fill your eyes.  Smiles awake you when you rise."- Paul McCartneyDM</blockquote>
