I’ve Got a Beatles Podcast!

In this episode we look at the life and career of songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist Denny Laine, who died in December 2023. Along with Paul and Linda, Denny was the only constant member of Wings during the 1970s, but he was also involved to varying degrees with many other groups throughout his life. We end the episode talking about the upcoming Band on the Run reissue, which Denny certainly played and sang on.

This past week the Beatles released a short making-of documentary, song, and video of their completed version of John Lennon's song "Now and Then." Dave and Chris discuss the genesis of the song, the recording, the documentary, and the video–and don't always agree! What do you think of the song? 

We also get into a discussion of the upcoming releases of 1962-66 and 1967-70, slated for next Friday, November 10.

In this episode, Dave and Chris discuss the 2021 film The Beatles and India. This is a documentary that's just about what it says -- how the Beatles' connections to India began, developed, and ended. Along the way, you'll hear from pundits like Mark Lewisohn and Steve Turner, Patti Boyd, and many others who were in Rishikesh when the Beatles stayed there in 1968. We also discuss one of the most significant revelations the movie points out regarding why the Beatles left India. We think the movie is well worth a watch.
