Beatlemania

i have been listening to rock music for most of my life. it was back in grade 4 where i was being fed with guns n' roses. it was candy to my ears at that time so i explored more. i bumped into the best band of the 90's, nirvana. since then, i started wearing sneakers for school and until now, i am still wearing sneakers. i thought that was it, it's the best that rock can offer. then in high school, someone introduced a band to me. a band which is far more powerful than the bands that i listened to at that time.

The Beatles.

i was amazed at how my classmate idolized them. a 14 year old kid who is listening to 60's rock? i decided to check it out. i was blown away with their music. then after that, i became a fan of The Beatles. Karlo have all their albums except for The Magical Mystery Tour. it was a rare one i can say.

Karlo and I did not just listen to their music, we also found ourselves searching for Beatles information. like every other fan, we have to know our own personal heroes. we found out some things, like Strawberry Fields is a real place where John Lennon, as a child, always play with the orphans inside Strawberry Fields. we found out that the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds song is about LSD (a prohibited substance). after all those days of researching, Karlo's father talked to us and told us something that cannot be found in the beatle books. only a little percent knew about what The Beatles did than just make great music.

The Beatles played a very big part in the destruction of communism in Russia.

no other band did what The Beatles did. they did not even plan it, it just happened. at that time, Russia was curtained with communism and the young men was brainwashed by the government with communist ideals. then The Beatles came. they hit the world by storm and the information about four lads from Liverpool got inside Russia. the Soviet officials even thought that The Beatles was a secret weapon used by Britain at that time. it was a very crucial time in history where the United States and Russia was on the race to be the most powerful nation in the world. what the Soviet did was ban The Beatles in their country. they dont want their future generation of communists to know how democracy feels. not before long, a lot of young men was arrested for having smuggled copies of The Beatles albums. in Russia's airports, if, say, a famous sportsman came back from a foreign country, the customs authorities would ask, "do you have a Beatles record?".

it was the generation of Russia that was listening to The Beatles that became Russia's lost generation. The kids lost their interest in all Soviet unshakable dogmas and ideals and they stopped thinking of an english speaking person as an enemy. that's when the Communists lost two generations of young people ideologically, totally lost. that was an incredible impact in a nation. only John, Paul, George, and Ringo were able to do that.

the so called lost generation grew up, became the deputies, and they became the officers. that's what changed Russia. clearly, The Beatles was not just a rock band, they were the historical event of their decade.

now, if you are still doubtful about this article, do a research, you'll get what you need. this information about The Beatles being the reason for the Soviet's fall is already out in public. for how many years, someone documented it already and it has been authenticated.

if only i got the idea to document it 5 years ago when it was still held by my gentle mind, i could have been the rich man.


Fun Fact: Did you know that the harmonica used in the song Love Me Do was stolen by John Lennon in one of Liverpool's store?

that store still exist until now.
