So I had this crazy idea...
Jan. 9th, 2012 12:04 pm...which I will add to all my other halfbaked ideas and multiple projects I have going at the moment, but anyway.
So there I was, walking on the treadmill at the local YMCA, listening to The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (the 2009 remaster) and thinking: "hmm...I can very well imagine the initial reaction of those Beatle fans hearing the album for the first time back in June of 1967."
And then it got me thinking about the Twitter feed I follow, which pseudo-livetweets the events of WWII as they unfold over the next few years.
Which brought me to the idea of liveblogging the Beatles. Now, that could be anything from just the album releases (UK-only or US-only, or both, depending on the POV), to the various events/concerts/movies/etc. they had. It could be insanely detailed, or it could just be trying to imagine a fan's initial reaction to the releases in chronological order.
It's an idea worth thinking about, considering the number of reference books out there, and it would also be a fun writing idea, to get into the head of a fictional character (the fan) and imagine how he/she/they would react.
Of course, I also had this crazy idea (on the same day, actually) of eventually recording my own version of all 251 original Beatles tracks over the course of a few years and posting them online, but that may take awhile.
