British withdrawal

 "They sound kind of lame." (Ryan's opinion of the Beatles, March 3, 2011)

I was just working on something and for some reason started singing Yellow Submarine, and he gave me this strange look. I explained to him what I was singing, then pulled up a video of the Beatles singing it on YouTube to provide him with a more authentic experience. That's when he said they sounded lame. When I didn't turn it off, his eye started twitching

So I played a bunch of other stuff for him: I Wanna Hold Your Hand, Here Comes The Sun, Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Twist and Shout, Revolution, etc. He started rolling his eyes, and and one point pretended to fall over dead.
