ghetto-ass @ reply retweet: "'Everyone else made the mistake of assuming that Beatlemania was about the Beatles.' interesting article t.co/yQbRsQMQrt
Wow, that IS really interesting, from a number of sides. Least among those the fact that Ehrenreich talked about fandom, but wow
I always just thought of her as "that woman my boss unleashes upon his unsuspecting freshmen"! It's interesting to me that even
fully aware of fandom's creepier tendencies, I had no idea that Columbiners/Holmies were a Thing. O_o;; It's hard to conceptualize
that at all for me. Will have to think more. As for womens' sexual revolution through Beatlemania/fandom, the idea is quite
interesting! Tho @ the same time I wish I could find a good article that talked about the phenomena of fandom w/o the sexual
liberation, & with a focus on other possible aspects of fandom, b/c that has no bearing on why I'm here @ all; that element
doesn't relate to my personal fandom ~journey, even though I was once a teenage fanatic, & am now a more creepy, 20smth fanatic...
