When did you become a fan?

[givepeaceachance]

I have been a Beatles fan for 3 years now. I know that's not as long as some of you but I'm sure I'm going to be a fan for the rest of my life.

When did you first become a fan?

[lovelyrita]

I became a fan in the spring of 2006.
The Beatles have totally changed my life, and I'll be a fan forever

[nocturnalquadruped]

Just prior to George releasing Cloud nine. Which is possibly why it is one of my favourite albums.

[nowheregirl]

For about 10 years, since 1997.

I have a john lennon record since 1998 and a beatles record since 2000. But the real passion started in 2002

Like many people, the Beatles were always a part of my life and I grew up hearing their music, but I didn't really become the big fan I am now until about 1988...which will be 20 years very soon!

I became a fan in February 2001 when I was 11 years old. My dad had bought the Beatles 1 before we went on vacation to Disney World. I started to listen to it and I got hooked instantly. Before that I was into all of the pop artists like Britney Spears, Back Street Boys, etc. But my whole entire musical perspective changed after listening to the Beatles 1 and I haven't looked back since.

I've been a fan since before their first Ed Sullivan appearance (which I remember watching on TV (in black and white)).

I've been a fan since March 2006..well I knew them since February but I start to love them in march
And all thanks to my mum that compels me to see the A hard day's night movie!! *thanksmumthanksmum*

I've always thought they were old fashioned musicians...but after I watched the movie I was in love -with Paul- then I changed to John *sigh* !!

When I first watched the movie the four seemed equals to me with the same suit and the mop tops xD

Hm, either 1 1/2 or 2 1/2 years ago. Depends a little on what you count as 'being fan'. I suppose the real fandom started about 1 1/2 year ago but earlier I loved their music already. Once I read a bit in a book about them, there were some cartoons of the Beatles (I used to look at those drawings and figure out which Beatle was which... Eventually when I was a fan I got the book from the library again and found out I'd been guessing right, lol!) . That was pretty much one section of them, separated from their music whom I did love as well. I just didn't know all of those were Beatles songs xD (yeah typical)

I've been a fan since 1999

[bungalowbill]

Since 1994, which I make to be almost 14 years.

[lennonlegend]

I can't really say. I've been a casual fan for a while, but it kicked up a gear the past few years.

I became a fan back in 1994 ( i was 14 Yrs old) A friend of mine let me borrow some of her John tapes that she had recorded and immediately I fell in love. A week later they had a special on ABC about the beatles anthology and i was hooked. Growing up I was only allowed to listen to country music (not by choice). And when i heard John and then the beatles it really opened me up to a different way of thinking. My friend that introduced me to John's music has since passed away but I will forever be greatful to her.

I have been since I was a kid. I just fell in love with them the first time I saw their cartoons I was about 7 that was in 1979, and immediately pick my favorite.
