They Held My Hand
how the Beatles saved my life
I suppose there were a few of us.
Those of us whose teen-age years coincided exactly with the beginning and the end of the greatest rock group the world has ever known. We
can look at each other with instant recognition. It’s a wordless understanding that runs deep.
“Many
of
us
can
measure
our
lives
during
the
1960’s by the release dates of Beatles albums.
Michael
Mish’s
memoir
aligns
his
own
coming
of
age
with
the
Fab
Four’s
impact
on
music
and social culture.
It
is
rare
to
find
a
Beatles-related
literary
offering
that
transcends
pure
fandom
-
They
Held
My
Hand
does
so,
eloquently
and
engagingly.”

An exciting release from Vesica Media. A book about how The Beatles impacted the life of a teenager in the 60’s
FIRST REVIEW
Mish
manages
in
a
wonderful
dreamy
way
to
evoke
memories
of
more
Beatles
songs
than
I
ever
thought
possible
to
recall.
The
commonality
of
emotions
makes
this
script
your
best
friend
whilst
still
pushing
all
the
boundaries
of
memory
(which,
because
I
was
so
wrapped
up
in
this
emotional
history
book,
made
me
Google
some
of
the
tracks
of
which
I’d
forgotten
the
names
so
I
could
recall
the
emotions
at
the
time
of
listening)..
Easy
to
read
and
a
pure
joy.
Written
from
a
truly
personal
perspective,
it
pulls
you
in
one
direction
and
slaps
you
in
the
face
when
you
least
expect
it.
Often
frank
and
brutally
honest,
there
is
an
underlying
continuum,
a
whirring
drone
making
you
question
if
this
journey
is
going
to
end
in
a
nice
way.
Perhaps
the
journey
is
a
retrospective
road
map
of
life
which
looked
at,
in
the
right
way,
is
a
celebration
of
life’s
struggles
seen
though
a
perspective
of
Beatle’s
songs. You can draw your own conclusions and experience.
