Beatlephobia: Love, Love me don't - Cherry Hill Courier Post
It's Global Beatles Day. I've been over the Beatles for quite some time now — at least that's what I thought before walking into Dave Frankel's Merchantville record store Thursday. Frankel sat next to the record player, flipping a Oscar Peterson and Joe Pass LP. Above him hung a piece of artwork from the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine.

"If you never liked them as a kid, you won't now," he said. But I did like the Beatles as I kid. At Delsea Regional Middle School, my 7th grade girlfriends and I lip synced to a medley of "Ob-la-de Ob-La-Da" and "Yellow Submarine" on the cafetorium stage. As a kid, my parents blasted selections from "Please, Please Me" while we cooked dinner. In the mid-1990s, I'd spin the "Red Album" CD on my Sony Discman on long rides in our 1989 GMC Safari van.
