Question
QUESTION: i love the beatles and look up to them as role models in life. i was wandering
have they ever fought with one another and can you give me more info on them?
i have all there songs.......

ANSWER: Have the Beatles ever fought?  It's why they broke up!  If you can manage to get a copy of the movie "Let it Be"  (They're rare, even I haven't seen it), you can see them coming apart at the seams, arguing a lot.  And even after they broke up, they fought for years over the legal terms over the dissolution of their business affairs.  They wrote angry songs about each other and wrote angry letters to each other and sent them to music magazines.

Let me know what exactly you want more info on.  Do you want recommendations for books, websites, dvds?  More info on a certain aspects of their music or history?  Let me know.

QUESTION: have you seen beatles help that is the only movie i have seen. i noticed most of
there songs are about females why? can you tell me more about the beatles
about there lives? i do not mean to bother you i am just wandering.

Answer
Help would qualify as not just my favorite Beatles movie, but my favorite movie.

Why are most of their songs about females?  Because they're male.

I can't give you more details on their lives unless you give me specifics on what you want.  If you like, you can read the official Beatles Anthology book - it's the Beatles story told by the Beatles themselves.

Expertise

I am a HUGE fan who happened to soak up lots and lots of trivia on her way through Beatle land (I`ve been told I have Beatle radar), so I`m able to answer a question about almost anything!

Experience

I'm a professional music teacher, mainly in vocal music. My particular specialty would be questions on the music theory of the Beatles songs, or ending "who sang what" debates.
