I Met the Walrus

I don't know. It's enjoyable in the way of walking through memory lane, remembering your favourite beatles songs and stories.

I went through a Beatles phase myself, don't think I'll ever get out of it actually, I was that friend who'd put the beatles on and tell anyone around about the story behind each song and each recording session. I still take it personally when someone doesn't enjoy the beatles, but really it's only music and the beatles were only people after all. So now I just enjoy the songs.

But reading this book, I couldn't forget that I'm in the head of a very self-centered teenager, thinking they're some kind of chosen prophet because he “understood” John. That somehow he's superior or special, because he's got good music taste, and I truly dislike music snobs. First half of the the book was about Jerry's experience discovering the Beatles, and the second was about his story sneaking into John and Yoko's hotel room, and getting an interview. It could've worked as an article, it's a nice story, but I'm pretty sure that guy has been talking about that day for the past 50 years, retelling it to anyone he sees, cause he was chosen by John and that makes him special. And all I kept thinking was “get over it already”.
