I used to dance :dancer:t5: to Thunderstruck by AC/DC. I was a bada** dancer back in the day.

I lived in a farmhouse and the whole house would shake when I danced.

The Beatles. I think I liked them when I was 5 or 6 because both my sisters liked them. This was at the height of Beatlemania. When I got older I appreciated them on my own and they’re still my favorite group.

It was really sad though to learn these past ten years that John Lennon was not the image that he portrayed in the media in his time. He has plenty of good in him and made many people happy with his music and you can’t deny his musical genius but to learn that he abandoned his wife and son, and to learn that he had violence issues against women, and that for all his peace talk after the Beatles broke up, he really didn’t help anyone or stop war at all, and and when he became famously known as a househusband in the 1980’s and he gave up releasing music for 3 or 4 years to stay home and raise Sean, his child with Yoko One, it eventually came out that he spent those 4 years locked in his million dollar apartment in a drug-induced haze for most of that time and that generally he was not as nice a person that his image portrayed him as. Very disappointing. Now when I watch videos on YouTube of the Beatles I look at him in a totally different light.
