This amazing George Harrison song off of Abbey Road was a request from one of our Australian listeners. It ended up being our favorite song we’ve done.

We hope it’s one of your favorites too. Sun, sun, sun, here it comes.

American Rifleman had an 1968 article that caught John Lennon's eye. A lovely little article about a kid hunting with his Dad. The title? Happiness Is A Warm Gun. This is a rollicking number by John penned and recorded in 1968 for The Beatles (White Album). Is it a drug song? Oh yeah. Is it a sexual innuendo? Oh yeah? Do we think it's awesome? Of course.

How many takes did it take to record it? What did John and Paul and George think of this one? Is it the MOST complicated Beatles track? What Cartoon inspired the song title and did you know that this song is a history of rock and roll in song form? This and more from inside the Glass Onion. You might even get a lesson on how to count out this song's complicated rhythmic section in this episode...but you don't seem like a listener that misses much. Do do do do do, oh yeah. Enjoy.
