Beatles Questionnaire

[greeny]

hi
im a student studying music and youth culture and i need any people that were around in the 60's to fill out my questionnaire as this would be a great help.

Are you male or female?

Are you a Beatles fan?

Did you grow up with The Beatles?

Did you feel The Beatles were completely new?

Do you feel The Beatles affected youth culture, if so how?

Did the emergence of The Beatles effect the fashion of youth e.g. hair, clothes etc?

Did The Beatles personally affect you, if so how?

Do you feel the 60’s youth culture was the same as the 90’s, if not why?

thanks for your time

matt

1. male
2. an avid Beatles fan
3.Yes! I was 11 years old when i saw them on Ed Sullivans tv show on 2-9-64.
4.They were totally different than anything around at that time.
5.They completely changed youth culture at the time. It seemed like the beginning of young people being recognised as being individuals. All of a sudden everything seemed to be about young people and there culture.
6. More than anything else. Everything almost overnight went from crewcuts and preppy clothes to long hair and British fashion.
7. I was pretty young at the time, but all of a sudden i started to love music. Before that i never had much interest. Also, i wanted to get a guitar and a couple years later was in my first rock group. If course i wanted to grow my hair long.
8.somewhat! It's the same in a sense that kids follow the music and fashion of the present ,no different than at that time . The big difference now seems to be more tolerance from the baby boomer generation towards the styles and music of todays generation even if we don't like a lot of it. There was a lot of discrimination towards a guy having long hair or looking different back then. A long haired guy could get physically hurt by the short haired , kicked out of school,verbally cut down walking down a street and not allowed into certain places. I was thrown out of a roller skating rink because the owner decided she didn't like the length of my hair. I also got suspended from school for 3 days because i wore a pair of Beatle boots.
