U2 frontman Bono writes a fan letter to The Beatles: “It’s my earliest memory of music” -
Great letter Bono wrote! I was 8 then, so not my earliest memory of music, but I Want To Hold Your Hand was the one that hit me like a ton of bricks in late December 1963 and I've been a continual/continuous (?) fan ever since! I can't even imagine my life without The Beatles.

Nice letter from Bono there. I was born seven years before Bono and my first musical memories were skiffle which was big in the UK in the late fifties. Then Elvis was the game-changer - he initially influenced Cliff Richard, who along with the Shadows were, and still are, my number one musical heroes. The Beatles came along much later - I still recall hearing Love me do for the first time. It seemed different but it took me a while to get into them - I feel fine was the first Beatles record I bought.
