Will You Ever Walk Alone?

Liverpool Fans, The Kopites says that 'You'll Never Walk Alone'

Liverpool grown, The Beatles said 'I looked at all the lonely people' (Eleanor Rigby)

One, assuring joy and accompaniance. One, stating devastation and boredom. O Liverpool, who should I listened to? Which song should I chose?

Liverpool. Mentioned to me I can automatically refer to two things. The Legendary Football Club, and the Legendary Rock N Roll Band. The football team supported by most of my friends and family members, and the rock n roll band that plays a great part as my musical inspiration.

I was in Liverpool and got to see both, well... not quite.

I went to Anfield, didn't get to go the stadium tour as the tour was fully booked for the whole day, but got to take pictures at the compound, bought souvenirs and left.

I went to Beatles Story Exhibition, but didn't get to go in as time was limited and the bus was about to leave, but got to take pictures at the entrance, bought a souvenir and left.

Liverpool trip was a devastation. I am frustrated. It was like a Hollow Chocolate Easter Egg. Just when you thought that the egg was this one solid fist size egg shaped chocolate delight, it turns out to be hollow, the chocolate was only on the surface and the middle was empty. How you wished that it was something like Cadbury Creme Egg, Chocolate Surface and creamy gooey sweet ooze inside, but it's not!

How I wish that we have chosen the Beatles Story Exhibition!

How big of a fan am I? Well, let's just say, huge. I heard the echoes of people calling Lucy In the Sky Diamonds in the most melodious sound when I was five. I knew Maggie Mae before I knew Maggi Mee. I was singing to comfort a hurt soul through Hey Jude. I was taught to Let It Be. Get Back introduced me to Sweet Loretta Martin and Jojo, while George's guitar gently weeps.

All and all, Liverpool trip was a failure.

If there's anything good I can say about the trip is that Anfield was fine (why would it not be, it is the home of the great Liverpool FC), the City was beautiful and the people were helpful and incredibly friendly (friendliest so far, I say. Birmingham being the least friendly).

I still think we missed a lot by not visiting the Beatles Story Exhibition. Darn!

Well, heck! With all the frustration in the air, I will sing along with the Beatles 'I looked at all the lonely people...' and next time, to really enjoy visiting the 'should-be' awesome Liverpool, I rather walk alone!
