what is your earliest memory of feeling completely besotted by a song? mine is probably "i saw her standing there." when i was five, years after it came out. transfixed. played it over and over. it/the beatles, informed everything that came after and it was hard to work around. still is. fortunately there is an abundance of power pop. i still love walls come tumbling down. don't love ooh la la but man, i adore debris. hny, LC.
I think we all look back on our younger self and recoil at things we said or did.
I used to loathe the Rolling Stones, viewing them as the bad boys juxtaposed with the clean-cut Beatles, but then started watching 'Tour of Duty', with it's theme tune of 'Paint it Black', that gradually turned me on to listen to and appreciate the Stones. Still prefer The Beatles, but do listen to The Stones just as much.

Not sure about being besotted. My very first memory is a song, though. Can't Buy Me Love.
