Dave‘s eight-year-old daughter is a huge of the Beatles…and at this moment, a not-so-huge fan of her father.
Dave, perhaps in a few years she’ll appreciate that, if nothing else, at least you spared her the unibrow gene?

First, does she know he’s dead? Second, do you think she’ll still think George Harrison is dreamy when she learns about “Got My Mind Set on You”?

Because she’s a kid, she’s doesn’t really understand how hurtful her words can be. The cute one was Paul, not George.

Apparently she has been raised properly (says a bonafide Beatlemaniac).

My girl has been a huge Beatles fan since kindergarten. She asks for CDs and DVDs every occasion, but has never [yet] wished her dad were Paul.

Quite Contrary
The real tragedy will be if his daughter’s daughter hopes for a cute dad like Justin Bieber.

Who doesn’t like the Beatles? Their music transcends the generation gap.

I dont care how – any 8 year old who knows who George Harrison is gives me hope for the future.

If she liked the Stones, I’d be more impressed.

So, is it just me? or does that pic of George Harrison look like he’s got fangs?

Dad’s one lucky man.
Imagine what his kid could do to his ego with a V-Tech toy.
She’d probably be attracted to a more contemporary artist than a Fisher-Price type and the only rock she’d be into would be crack!

Could have been worse. The kid could have wished Flava Flav was her dad.

The unibrow, the fangs and the fingers? Looks like he’s transforming into a werewolf…something not often captured on camera.

I wish he was my dad too. I’d even take Davey Jones (unless he doesn’t get any royalties or residuals).

I loved Keith Richards when I was about that age. It explains so much about my life now

Sure- everybody just loves the “cute” George Harrison, but what if she accidentally asked for the “fat” George Harrison? …kinda like getting Zach Galifianakis as your dad. Although, it’s probably better than being stuck with the “hobo” George Harrision, or the “Manson” Harrison as your dad, right?

I agree that this might be fake. When girls call someone “cute,” they usually mean they want them for a boyfriend, not a dad.

They obviously don’t have parental control on their cable remote and she’s watched Scorsese’s documentary on HBO. Good taste little one!

So, I’m the only one who thinks that looks a little like Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz)?

When I was pregnant with my daughter she would moved around non stop if the Beatles were playing ..she is now almost 9 and still loves them. She shushes me while wating Yellow Submarie (though apparently it is just fine for her to sing Lucy in the Sky with DIamonds at the top of her lungs) and has been arguing Bealt lyrics with her 60 year old Beatle-maniac great-uncle for years….
She was also the only 3 year old probably in 3 states that like to listen to Blind Faith on vinyl with the giant headphones..
