I feel sad looking at pictures like this. And this is just the beginning, John. The only way you'll get some privacy is to become a prisoner in your own apartment building. Even then, when you finally do venture out again, some stalker will take your life.
Worry ye not, Anonymous. I hear the lads were very well paid for what they loved doing most. They could afford both privacy and freedom beyond my imagination.
Why did Lennon regularly open the gates to his Weybridge estate and invite fans in for photos and autographs? Why did he stop his chauffeur driven car on the way out to wind his window down and ask fans what he could do for them? Why did Cynthia answer the door to tell fans when her husband would be due back home and to try again then?
Your "sighs" are now becoming boring and disrespectful.
This blog is to highlight photos and stories of people who have met the Beatles in person. And while fan taken photos are my favorite, I also like to include vintage fan photos and other photos that show the Beatles meeting fans.
The idea behind this blog is to follow in the footsteps of the great Beatle fanzines of the 1970's & 1980's such as The Write Thing, The Harrison Alliance, With a Little Help from my Friends, Paperback Writer, etc etc. Photos and article from those publications and others are reproduced here to preserve the history of the fans who met one or more Beatle in person.
If you have ever met one of the Beatles and have a story or pictures to share, please contact me, Sara, at Starshyne9@yahoo.com.
I have never met the Beatles (besides in my dreams) but love fan photos. These photos are from my collection, which spans 17 years of online photo collecting and scanning books. I do not claim any copyright of these photos or stories. Some of them are sent to me and published with permission. Others are scanned from magazines, books and found in various places online. I do not watermark photos that I place on this blog because I do not own any of the photos. These photos are on this blog in an attempt to preserve the history of the Beatles. If you own the rights to a photo and wish to have it removed from this blog, please contact me.
