Can you believe that tomorrow we have to resume our labor and school tomorrow? I can't. In my view, I was supposed to see snow. But I ended up not. The Holidays (X-mas and Hanukkah) were nice and quiet. Christmas morning I went to a relitive's house (I go every year) and spent time with my family and opened gifts! I got what I wanted. Did you?I spent new years at a friends house where we started a movie at 10:30. By 11:00 the three of us were fast asleep. at 11:59 someone woke us up as we watched the ball drop in snowy New York City in the heart of beautiful Times Square. In Times Square that night, there were more than 1,000,000 people! Can you even think about how hard it was to get out? I can't even go there. Before the ball dropped in magical and memorable Times Square, they were playing the legend John Lennon's (From The Beatles) "Imagine" that he originally recored in June 23, 1971 at Ascot Sound Studios. The Beatles were a group that are from London. On the top right corner of this post, you will see a picture of The Beatles that I got from Flickr.There names are John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and George Harrison. They were a phenomenon. They formed as a group in 1958. They left London to live in New York as a group on February 7th 1964. There top 10 songs are "Hey Jude" (1968), "Let It Be" (1970), "A Day in the Life" (1967), "Strawberry Fields Forever" (1967 also, Central Park in NYC has a spot dedicated to this song called "Strawberry Fields"), "Eleanor Rigby" (1966), "Yesterday" (1965), "In My Life" (1965), "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (1968), "Twist and Shout" (1962) and their # 10 song is "And I Love Her" (1964). My favorite Beatles's songs are "All You Need is Love" (1967), "Blackbird" (1968), "I Feel Fine" (1964), "Hello, Goodbye" (1967), "Help!" (1965), and "Day Tripper" (1965). The Beatles tragically broke up in April 1970. I saw Paul McCartney in concert a few years ago and I loved every second of it. If you have never heard/listened of/toThe Beatles, I encourage you to listen to some of their songs. For those who are wondering, yes. In mid 2009, Rockband came out with a "Rockband Beatles Edition" that sold out everywhere.I am a HUGE Beatles Fan. So, go listen to some Beatle Music. I hope you enjoyed your history lesson on the Beatles even though we still have about 15 hours until school/jobs start. I hope everyone had a great vacation! :)
