Beatles In Your Soul: Beatle-evoked memories from around the world

By Dennis Alstrand

In our distant past, a tidal wave swept from Liverpool out through the world. It affected us as no other had before. Now, we can only look back. Just one second is all we ask: One passing moment of those Beatles being back together again. Well, your Beatle moment is in this book, somewhere. As you read on, a long discarded memory will open its door and walk into the sunshine again. But read with care. You might find yourself laughing again at something you had long ago forgotten. Or your moment might be filled with bittersweet memories, as it did with my wife Sandi. I happened to walk into the room and found her in tears, reliving the death of John Lennon. It was an incident she had suppressed all of these years. This project began about three years ago. Mike Montana (creator of the Facebook page The Beatles' Universe) and I were writing essays about various Beatle songs and albums. We worked well together and had a blast doing them. The Beatles Universe responded from all parts of the world, each with different Beatle-shaped viewpoints and memories. It was the "from around the world" part that turned me on to compiling people's thoughts. After all, The Beatles weren't only big in America or England. Wouldn't it be interesting to hear from someone who grew up in Finland, The Netherlands, Malaysia, Canada (barely?), China (yes, China), or Mexico? And what of Australia where the impact was the biggest of all? I set out to encapsulate how The Beatles affected the world, regardless of age or nationality.
