It does suck getting old, doesn't it? I'm staring down the barrel at 50 ...
My youngest, a 15 year old, absolutely loves the Beatles, along with a lot of the usual stuff that's on all of those "Now" collections. We have SiriusXM in the car and battle over the stations (my presets include Deep Tracks, 70s, 80s, 90s, Underground Garage and Lithium). She always tries to go to Hits 1 or whatever. But, the rule we do have is that we never turn off the Beatles or any solo Beatle song. I surprised her when I wouldn't allow her to change the station when Billy Preston's "Nothing from Nothing" came on the other day :)
BTW, Deep Tracks is a great station. A couple of the DJs were Philly rock personalities back in the day - Earl Baily and Michael Tearson. Almost like listening to Q102 or WMMR back in 1977-1982 or so.

I was in a fast food resturant this week. I was wearing a tee-shirt with an
image from the Beatles cartoon show.
The clerk, who looked every bit of 16, asked me what the Beatles were and why it
wasn't spelled like the insect. I must have looked at her like I was
dumbfounded and she got a little scared. She told me that she thought she heard
her dad talk about them the other day with one of his friends and she thought it
might be a band. (A band !!!)
I proceeded to sing a little of "She Loves You" and "Yesterday". She was like
"I know those songs but I thought they were folk songs".
At 54, I felt extremely old. I told her that they played those songs on AM
radio when I was in elementary school and that I had the 45 of Hello
Goodbye/Penny Lane. I could tell that that was completely foreign to her.
Tom, who remembers when groups had two sided hits.
