Amanda and Al from Cape Coral, Florida, both 19, drove to Ohio to visit their families and then came to Louisville for the festival.
Al likes John Lennon, his messages. Amanda said the Beatles started music as we know it now. Amanda is wearing John and Yoko guitar pick earrings, picturing the famous Rolling Stone cover. Al is wearing an Air Force camouflage jacket with peace and anti-war patches sewn on it. They're both anti-war.
Al says John never held back, never worried about public opinion. Al would like to be like that, especially if he becomes a writer. Amanda says the Beatles were able to express so much through their music, and they almost changed a generation by helping them to stand up for what they believed in. Al says "sadly, no" when asked if a current band has that kind of effect today.
Anyone think of a current band that has that same kind of sway with its fans??? Let me know.
