All these years after the Beatles first arrived in the United States in 1964 they are still gaining fans.

Twelve-year-old Aiden Lindsay, of Bethel, is one of them, new to Beatlemania but already feeling the lure.

Paul McCartney’s voice drew him in, not John’s, which he describes as nasally. He ranks them as follows: Paul, George, Ringo, John.

His listening time machine, however, doesn’t reach back to the 1960s. It lands somewhere in the 1980s, as he unpacks a stack of CDs — “Abbey Road,” “Band on the Run,” “Yellow Submarine” — and arranges them carefully like a checkerboard across the kitchen table. Then he runs to his room — “too messy for guests,” he says — to grab his boom box.

He uses a VCR to watch his extensive Beatles anthology, too.

This “old soul” shows it in other ways, too.

“I already spend too much time on the screen. Sometimes I just sit in my room and play CDs,” he said.

He doesn’t use headphones. And he listens usually when he needs to be alone, like after a bad day. It helps him settle down and feel better, he said.

He tried to convert others when he was younger but has given up on that cause. His classmates at Eddy Middle School in Newry know who the Beatles are, he said, but not John, Paul, George and Ringo. Only one shares his interest — and even then, “she’s more into Green Day and Twenty One Pilots,” Lindsay said.

He calls the Beatles “magical.”

He found them about four years ago while channel surfing on SiriusXM in his dad’s truck. From there came Journey, Wings, Rush and ABBA.

He said he doesn’t want to offend anyone, but he has strong feelings against country music with its lyrics that don’t go anywhere. “It’s all about love and romance, getting drunk, then getting broken up.”

Lindsay pulls out tickets from when he and his dad went to Montreal to see Paul McCartney in Bell Center. “Blackbird” and “Live and Let Die” were highlights. It was dark but he guessed there were maybe just a few other middle school students in the audience.

He said he’ll always be a Beatles fan.

“I don’t think the Beatles can be one-upped,” he said. “I feel like they should live on for another 100 years.”
