It was the Beatles 7th number 1 song in approximately 5 months.
Hearing that made me think: I wonder if, being an unintentional but irredeemable contrarian, I would have hated the Beatles if I was, say, 18 years old in 1964?
I have to believe, if forced to hear that much of any one band, I would have grown to hate them.
That said, I was born in the 70's.
And while my parents commendable musical taste gave me heavy Beatles exposure, I never had to contend with Beatlemania and therefore have an undying love for the music that is the bedrock of most of my favorite music to this day.
This is all a reminder of my favorite concert from this time last summer when I was lucky enough to see Paul McCartney at Comerica park in Detroit.
It was a sweltering night and the, at the time, nearly 70 year old McCartney, put on the kind of performance you could only hope for from a rock and roll legend.
