I was a senior in high school at the time. Everybody was playing the Beatles; everybody liked the music.
If I go back to when I was 18 years old, here was this group writing songs and playing rock 'n' roll songs like nobody else. It was amazing.
There was so much excitement for music at the time, and much of it had to do with the Beatles. The Beatles inspired probably more bands than we will ever know, and they certainly inspired me.
The thing about Beatles music is that everybody knows it. If you play Beatles music, the audience is already there, and they're waiting to be entertained by you. All of a sudden, they're transformed to another place.
