Yeah, can ya believe it? I was just into comic books and baseball cards up until about 9th grade, and then my family visited my cousins and I was blown away by their cool Beatles collection. They were playing the Let It Be and Abbey Road albums, and I thought those Apples spinning on the record player were the coolest thing I'd ever seen, as were their copies of John Lennon's Instant Karma singles. I was hooked, went home, hit the record stores, and I've never been the same.
