1. Thanks. When I was just 11 and didn't really care about music, I heard The Beatles

and it was like being completely blown away. I was at my best friend's house playing with his electric train when he said his mom bought him this new album (how cool was that?) by some group called The Beatles. I listened and that was it. I dragged my friend across town to buy their new single, I Want To Hold Your Hand, at the only store open in our city at night, Bell Discount. And when I saw the picture on the single:
I liked Paul the best for whatever reason and I alway have.

The Beatles and their music were such an integral part of my years from 6th grade through my senior year in high school. When Paul dies it will be a big door slamming shut for it's seemed as if he and his music have been woven into my life. But I've always been happy that I picked Paul as my favorite Beatle and I've never regretted it.
