My entire life, my parents have instilled a strong love for the beatles in me and my siblings. There are multiple home videos of me and my siblings (some so young, they were not even able to stand on their own yet) dancing to song after song, from "twist and shout" to "octopus' garden" and singing along to every word. Some of my favorite memories from when I was a child involve beatles music. I spent a lot of time in the "woody wagon", my dad's old mustard yellow and white toyota pickup truck that belonged to my great grandpa, papa (or woody, as everyone else called him), driving around with my dad and listening to cassette tape after cassette tape of beatles albums. I remember that my dad even let me rewind the tape to "back in the u.s.s.r." over and over again for the month that i decided that was my favorite beatles song. Starting all of us on the beatles gave us all a real appreciation for music and a love for different styles and sounds. I'm pretty confident that any of us fisher kids would be able to sing (almost) every beatles song, word for word if we were asked to.
Because of this love, I am so excited for this movie, nowhere boy. There haven't really been any movies made about the lives of the beatles members and the stories of their careers, which is very surprising to me, seeing as they have made such a huge impact on music and culture. The movie will focus on john lennon's life, but it sounds like it also will take us through the formation of the band and the beginning of their career together. I cannot wait until the end of the year for this!
