9. My mom was way into country music.

Being born and raised in Tennessee, it was almost unavoidable. She loved all the artists you mentioned, and more. But she also loved pop crooners like Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, and Nat King Cole. And she liked the Beatles, too, pretty much from the beginning! She actually used to listen to my records during the day while I was at school sometimes - which was fine with me. (My dad wasn't that into music and kinda stayed out of the whole thing, which was also fine with me.)

I always say the Beatles got me through high school. Those were not good years for me, for various reasons, and the Beatles were a big help. My best friends back then were fellow Beatles fans, and I'm still besties with one of those girls after all these years!
