Yes.... I was 10 years old when I saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show.... I was never a rabid fan, but I like a lot of their songs.
They most definitely changed the music world.... I also read that they were greatly influenced by Buddy Holly's music...

oddly enough, I like George Harrison's music way better when he organized the Travelin' Wilburys....

I was nine! You are older than I am??? Shocker LOL. But yes, The B|Beatles on Ed Sullivan, what
an eye opener! I knew they were different and gonna be big. I ran and wrote their names down, heh.
But like you I was not a huge fan, and especially had no desire to ride the popularity bus. I did have
a soft spot for George, also. He was a bit more mystical/spiritual, it seemed. I still have some of their CDs.
Though I did not know a day of the year had been dedicated to them!

The Beatles...

I remember one time I asked my father what the lyrics of a certain Beatles song meant. He replied, "Well... Back then a lot of people did a lot of LSD."

Yep..... the psychedelic era of music.
Beautiful songs with no meaning at all... songs like "Crimson and Clover", and "The Hurdy-Gurdy Man".... there's a ton of 'em....

Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time

Who cares what games we choose
Little to win, but nothing to lose
Incense and peppermints, meaningless nouns
Turn on, tune in, turn your eyes around
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, girl
Look at yourself, look at yourself, yeah, girl, yeah, yeah

To divide the cockeyed world in two
Throw your pride to one side, it's the least you can do
Beatniks and politics, nothin' is new
A yardstick for lunatics, one point of view
Who cares what games we choose
Little to win, but nothing to lose

Good sense, innocence, cripplin' mankind
Dead kings, many things I can't define
Occasions, persuasions clutter your mind
Incense and peppermints, the color of time
Who cares what games we choose
Little to win, but nothing to lose
Incense, peppermints
Incense, peppermints

Yes.... I read that they were stoned out of their minds when recording it, and couldn't enunciate very well... there were a few songs of that era that were thought to have contained "vulgarity".... imagine that. "Muddy Water" was one of them...
House of the Rising Sun was famously about a brothel in New Orleans...

That stuff would be considered mainstream "easy listening" by today's standards.

My favorite Beatles song is "I Saw Her Standing There". It had to be written for me about my first encounter with my wife.
