   Number 2: Episode 56 – Beatles ’72 pt1

   It’s 1972! While the dream of The Beatles may have been left behind in sixties, this new year saw with it a boom in activity from the solo careers of John, Paul, George and Ringo. John & Yoko’s new home of New York City certainly made the couple feel welcome, despite the David Frost Show exchange that had ended in a shouting match with audience members the December prior. Undeterred from their political endeavors, the couple launched into another series of protests in the new year, as well as a new series of recordings to capture the various protest songs they had written over the past several months. While John may have been the most outspoken activist of his former bandmates, one issue managed to capture and inspire both Lennon and McCartney to songwriting action: Bloody Sunday. The plight of the Irish drove Paul’s new band Wings into the recording studio in early 1972 to record Give Ireland Back to the Irish, which would join John’s Luck of the Irish and Sunday Bloody Sunday in the cannon of former Beatle support for the Irish cause. Another major move for Paul McCartney and Wings was also around the corner, in the form of a planned university tour of Great Britain in the weeks and months to come... Hosted on Acast.

   Number 4: Episode 54 – Beatles ’71 pt8

   It’s the end of 1971 and John and Yoko have truly made New York City their home. Newfound neighbors such as self-proclaimed dirty hippy David Peel and fellow cyclist Bob Dylan were helping the couple fit right in to the big apple (pun) lifestyle. But it was their new friends in the radical community such as Jerry Rubin who were making the biggest impression on the politically outspoken Lennons. Tangible success at last befell the couple in the cause of the imprisoned MC5 manager John Sinclair, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for attempting to give two joints to an undercover police officer two years earlier. Following a rally headlined by John and Yoko, who penned a new song for the occasion, Sinclair was released from prison and New York’s newest residents found themselves emboldened to use their celebrity for similarly targeted causes. From the plight of the Irish to the women’s liberation movement, John and Yoko made their voices heard...but it was the tragedy of Attica State which would spark the most heated debate between the former Beatle and his new neighbors. One cause the couple was no longer ready to fight for? The conflict with Paul McCartney. At last a reconciliation between the most influential songwriting duo of the 20th century was reached, but by the end of 1971 the last thing on the minds of John, Paul, George and Ringo was a reunion. Political activism, starring film roles, unlikely success and new bands were just the tip of the iceberg for the rest of the 1970’s to come... Hosted on Acast.

   Number 5: Episode 53 – Beatles ’71 pt7

   Emboldened by the slow-burn success of RAM, and anxious to prove himself in life beyond The Beatles, Paul McCartney was at last ready to reveal to the world the ambitious new project he had been working on for months. Enter: WINGS. In the years since The Beatles left live performance behind, John, George and Ringo had each found themselves back in the spotlight for concerts in one form or another, but curiously the Beatle who loved playing before an audience the most had shied away from taking the stage the longest. Those days were now over, as Paul McCartney’s new band prepared to take flight on the back of a brand new album: Wild Life. This was a rough-edged, garage-rock-ey band effort that was perhaps more akin to the Get Back project than its more polished predecessor - with jam tracks like the unruly Mumbo and wandering organ crooning on its eponymous Wild Life. Like nearly all of McCartney’s initial solo endeavors, Wings was off to a shaky start with this LP, failing to crack the top 10 in his native England and spawning no single-worthy tracks to help buoy sales. But Paul wasn’t the only former Beatle struggling with a launch in the fall of ‘71 - when George Harrison appeared on the Dick Cavett show to promote the Apple film Raga, America learned of the struggle to release the long-awaited Concert for Bangladesh soundtrack album, stemming from a sales dispute with Apple’s American distributor Capitol Records. The struggles of solo flight would continue into the winter, but prove to be the growing pains of four artists who were discovering just what it meant to pave their own path forward...
