Uh, I don't think proud is the right word. Maybe I can relate to the Beatles more because their British, and so appreciate them more than if they were from say the US.
I'm proud of MY past, MY achievements, MY friends. I'm not proud of the achievements of people just because they happen to share the same country as me. I don't think it's that strange, I know a lot of people who feel this way.
