I don't listen to The Beatles nearly often enough.

That's okay-- it's an impossible feat anyway. ;)

Yes, but they're so good for my mental health! Every time I hear some of the great songs, I feel happier.

Don't listen to them much

But then I don't have to. I am of the age group that waited with anguish for the release of Rubber Soul, Hard's Days Night, Help and Revolver, who watched the Beatles cartoons Saturday mornings, for whom Sgt Pepper was like the Second Coming and The White Album lyrics the subject of anxious exegesis (as Dylan was to people a few years older ). Their songs are coded into my neurons.

I can be engaged in some task or riding the bus and 'Good Day Sunshine' or 'Hey You've Got to Hide Your Love Away' starts up in my
brain. And then I'm happy.

It's exactly the same for me.

I would say that's hard to imagine, were it not that I experienced something very similar in comics - Jack Kirby, Hayao Miyazaki, Giscinny-Uderzo, the brief period of Chris Claremont's brilliance, Alan Moore. And, outside comics, with Springsteen. One X-Men fan long ago put it very well: "Do you mean that I have to wait two million fiven hundred and ninety-two thousand seconds till the next issue? Double argh."
