When you go off to college, know that not everyone you meet will share your musical taste. After playing "I Am The Walrus" one day during my freshman year, my roommate said, "That's The Beatles?" When I confirmed that they were, he responded, "I'd tape over that @%&*."
Serendipitous exchanges also happen in college, however. There was also this incident that same year:
Dorm neighbor: Andrew, haven't seen you lately. How've you been?
Me: I've been listening to Beatles music.
Dorm neighbor: Really? Are you the walrus?
Me: No. The walrus is Paul.
Just as I said that, another dorm neighbor named Paul walked past, by chance. To his credit, Paul didn't challenge my--well, actually, John Lennon's--statement.
