The First Generation Beatles fans have it best as they were there and celebrated and enjoyed the Golden Beatles years when The Beatles were Gods! But that comes with the price that Firsties are now senior citizens and old! I have never understood this POV. (And I do realize you were only playing here, JSD)... Whenever people say "well I wish I was around back then, but if I was I would be OLD now".. the thing is. it's not like they got "cheated out of their time". 60 years is 60 years ... the difference is only that they've lived it at a different time from the person making the observation. (And for my money, the older a person can be these days, having had the bulk of their time spent in the preferred days of yore -- the better! ) . Well, it was probably a different experience. Those of us who remember hearing "She Loves You Yeah Yeah Yeah" coming over the radio for the first time, and caught them live on Ed Sullivan, and followed all the Beatles releases in chronological order in real time. But I wouldn't say it was a better experience than those who picked up on the Beatles in mid-stream and worked backwards from there. Just different.

Maybe its the difference between watching a sporting event live as the game is unfolding before your eyes. As opposed to reading about it in a book 10 years later. There probably is a signifigant difference in the experience.
