I’m glad you’ve found and nurtured a community here Jackie. I’ve been on Substack for close to a year now (reading and commenting, not writing) and I absolutely love the community of like minded music lovers I’ve found here.
I don't mention The Beatles much anymore, and only rarely listen, although the Ed Sullivan Show was like Pentecost to me. The spirit descended and my path was set. (And I did follow that Yellow Brick Road.) But the music has been played and played and the stage belongs to someone else now.
I’m a bit younger, I think, than the author and Al ( born 1967) but I too find their music played out due to its ubiquity over the last 60 years, to the point where I never play their music, but can still be knocked out a by a gem on the radio on occasion.
While the bouncy original by Ringo and the boys is just fine, my preferences run toward the cover by Joe Cocker. Boom!
I'd forgotten about his very capable cover!

Blushing! 😊
