Get your pjs on, grab a big bowl of cereal, and plant yourself in front of the TV (at least in your mind) -- its Saturday Morning Cartoon time with one of the seminal voices of animation. The name Daws Butler may not ring as many bells as Mel Blanc, but his characters sure do -- Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw and many more. A fortuitous early partnership with Stan Freberg paid off for Daws with tons of voice work in 1950s Hollywood, and when William Hanna and Joseph Barbera started their namesake studio in the 1960s, Daws was their as a key voice talent. Along the way Daws also was a mainstay of commercials (Captain Crunch anyone?) and founded a voice workshop that trained many of the next generation(s) of voice actors. As always, find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Daws Butler? When the Beatle's stormed America, drummer Ringo Starr was a sensation and Daws caught the wave with Bingo Ringo -- featuring Daws as Huckleberry Hound fantasizing about being a rock and roll star. https://youtu.be/j8l-UakqV28?si=Puvt-4UbfQ67TuR9 Early in his career Daws worked with Stan Freberg on the Beany and Cecil kids who's, then on Stan's series of groundbreaking Capitol records releases including Christmas Dragnet -- a parody of the Dragnet television show -- and Daws was a perfect partner to Stan Freberg's Joe Friday parody. https://youtu.be/VUcEnZZxO9Y?si=vOtthAGBgz1Xn7wo Daws was the king of Hanna Barbera studios which popularized "limited animation" as a way to cut costs and keep cartoons on the air. With the motion limited, solid voice work was essential. Daws says -- no problem!https://youtu.be/kT_ykjMWDGc?si=sqhJ87kitSfNp6f5

“She married Ringo, but she could've had Paul, that's why the lady is a champ!” Episode two of the Beatle Girl Miniseries is about sweet, strong, and rebellious Maureen Starkey. She never wrote a biography and gave very few interviews. She's the silent fashion icon of the decade. But she was the heartbeat of the backbeat and an emotional refuge for our big-hearted Beatle. And she was no wallflower - it takes guts to sneak to another country with your pop star boyfriend!

Hong Kong, été 1977. David Bowie s'ennuie. Ben oui, ça arrive, même aux stars du rock en tournée mondiale qui par définition n'ont pas le temps de voir passer le temps. Mais là, il traîne dans le hall de son hôtel, accompagné de son inséparable et impitoyable assistante Coco Schwab, et de son pote Iggy Pop probablement encore jet-lagué de leur tournée nippone. Les rues moites de la ville ne lui disent rien. Trop chaud, trop loin, trop rien.Soudain, une silhouette surgit de l'ascenseur, sourire espiègle, baskets aux pieds, c'est John Lennon. L'ex-Beatle, en vacances anonymes avec son fils Julian, et qui ouvre les bras vers Bowie.Hey Dave ! Tu t'en souviens de L.A. ?Comment David pourrait-il oublier leur rencontre à Los Angeles trois ans plus tôt lors d'une fête chez Elizabeth Taylor. Bowie est encore timide, Lennon est déjà fan. Ils se sont retrouvés en studio à New York début 75. Bowie a lancé un riff. Lennon a poussé un Fame qui a donné un N°1 mondial.Et donc, ces deux grands trentenaires reprennent leur numéro comme s'ils s'étaient quittés la veille. Lennon sort des vannes et Bowie rit. Un vacancier les reconnaît :Vous êtes John Lennon ?Non, mais j'aimerais avoir son compte en banque, répond John. Bowie adore cette vanne, il va la ressortir plus d'une fois.David et John sortent dîner, explorent les clubs douteux de Wan Chai, un verre glacé à la main. À un moment, Lennon monte sur scène dans un bar et lance au public un Vous connaissez les Beatles ? histoire de rigoler. Plus tard, dans une échoppe, David trouve un blouson The Beatles. Il insiste pour que John l'essaie, elle ne lui va pas mais on prend une photo souvenir. Malheureusement le temps passe vite, même en vacances. C'est la dernière fois que David et John se voient. Ils devaient se retrouver à New York en décembre 1980 pendant la série de représentations de la pièce Elephant Man que David jouait à Broadway, malheureusement … Six ans plus tard, Bowie est de retour à Hong Kong, pour la dernière date de sa tournée Serious Moonlight. Ce soir-là, après un triomphal Let's dance, il entonne Imagine, les larmes aux yeux. Nous sommes le 8 décembre 1983, trois ans jour pour jour après la mort de John, David ne s'en est jamais vraiment remis. Comme quoi, même les extraterrestres peuvent avoir le cœur brisé avec un souvenir d'été.

1994 proved to be one of the most fertile years for Beatles-inspired filmmaking. The titles of cinematic classics either directly about The Beatles (“The Secret Of Roan Inish”, “Blue Chips”) or clearly inspired by their music (“Ski School 2”, “Wesley Snipes' Sugar Hill”) were '94's dominant cultural and commercial hits. (Yeah, go ahead and f off, “The Air Up There”.) Perhaps the most notable fab film from that year was “Backbeat”, which focused primarily on Stuart Stucliffe's brief but incredibly/debatably important tenure as a Beatle. What does the film get right? What does it get terribly, offensively wrong? How do Beatles (and cinema, damn it) EXPERTS Tony & T.J. feel the film holds up on its' 31st anniversary? (Forgot about that milestone, huh, Calderstone/Polydor??) The Gab Two deep dish “Backbeat”, and more, including:

In this episode of the Anglotopia podcast, host Jonathan Thomas speaks with Charles Rosenay, a seasoned Beatles tour guide and cultural ambassador for Liverpool. They explore the evolution of Beatles tourism, the significance of iconic locations like the Cavern Club, and the hidden gems of Liverpool that fans should not miss. Charles shares memorable experiences from his tours, the emotional reactions of fans, and the changing relationship between Liverpool and its Beatles heritage. The conversation also touches on the impact of the internet on tourism, the joy of sharing Beatles history, and the best times to visit Liverpool for an immersive experience. Links www.LiverpoolTours.com The Book of Top 10 Beatles Lists (Amazon Link) www.BookOfTop10BeatlesLists.com Liverpool Tours on Facebook International Beatle Week Visit Liverpool Website Takeaways Charles Rosenay has been a Beatles tour guide since 1983. Liverpool has transformed into a vibrant cultural destination. The Cavern Club is a must-visit for Beatles fans. Emotional reactions from fans often include tears of joy. Beatles Week in August is the best time to visit Liverpool. Hidden gems like the Jacaranda are essential stops. The Beatles' childhood homes are significant historical sites. Balancing myth and history is crucial in storytelling. Liverpool's character is shaped by its people and culture. The internet has changed how Beatles tourism operates. Soundbites 1. The Origin Story "I fell in love with them like millions of other people of a certain age on February 9th, 1964 when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan show. Watched it, fell 100% in love with it, realized there was more to the world than just monster movies and kindergarten and baseball." 2. Liverpool as Sacred Ground "Liverpool was that holy land, the holy grail destination for me. When I was young, I would clip every article, everything that said John Paul, George Ringo. But I would also, if it said the tall ships are sailing into Liverpool, I would cut that out." 3. The Emotional Kiss "She got off the coach, set foot in Liverpool, bowed down and kissed the ground. I said, you guys planned that, huh? She goes, 'No, my gosh. That was so spontaneous. I didn't even think I was going to do that.'" 4. The Fifth Beatle Revelation "There was that debate, if you're a Beatles fan, the debate was who was the fifth Beatle? Was it Brian Epstein? Was it Billy Preston? Was it George Martin? The fifth Beatle was Liverpool. Liverpool is a personality, it's a lifestyle, it's humor." 5. Liverpool's Transformation "Back then it was just a dingy, scaffolded, gray like slum backyard area. I remember putting my ears against the walls and just trying to dream what it would be like hearing the Beatles play through these walls. Now it's completely embraced the entire tourism industry." 6. The Cavern Club Legacy "The Beatles played there over 300 times. It was literally their residency. Life was music and you wanted to be the band that played there. If you do one place that you want to capture the rock and roll and that era and the sweat and the music, it's the Cavern Club for sure." 7. 100% Satisfaction Guarantee "I am so proud, blessed, lucky, I don't know what the word is, 100% satisfaction from the people who go on the tour. Even the best five-star posh restaurant will have its off day. I forgot what your question was, but I think I went on a little tangent there." 8. The Magic of Spontaneity "Julian Lennon is doing a signing at a toy store in London in two hours. I said, you know what? We're changing our schedule. We can be in Liverpool two or three hours later. We're all going to this event. The 30 of us were in line for him. Eight other people came besides us." 9. Seeing Through Fresh Eyes "When they get excited, 'Can you take a picture of me crossing Abbey Road?' I know it. I had that feeling in 83 and 84, 85, and year after year. It's the joy of the people going and me loving it vicariously through their eyes and emotions." 10. Beatles Week Magic "During Beatle Week, you're literally walking street to street to street, hearing nonstop Beatle music. You just pour out Beatles music and that could be a plus or a minus if you're a Beatles fan—this is it, you're in heaven."

Le rideau est encore baissé mais dans les coulisses, l'air est déjà chargé d'électricité. On entend des cordes de guitares grattées nerveusement, des pas précipités, des talkies-walkies qui crachent. Et au milieu de ce chaos organisé, debout, tranquille, presque zen… Paul McCartney. Ex-Beatle, ex-Wings, et ce soir, redevenu tout simplement rock star solo. Nous sommes dans la banlieue d'Oslo en 1989, le premier soir de la première véritable tournée mondiale de Paul depuis les années 70. Autant dire un événement. Et en coulisses, ça se sent. Il y a cette tension qu'on sent juste avant un premier baiser ou un saut dans le vide. Même les musiciens sont un peu nerveux. Il faut dire que jouer aux côtés d'un Beatle, ce n'est pas rien. Même pour des pros. Et lui ? Lui, il rigole. Il grignote une banane. Oui, une banane. Un petit rituel. Pour l'énergie, dit-il avec un clin d'œil. Puis il attrape sa basse Höfner, en forme de violon. Le public, lui, n'en peut plus. Il crie, il scande « Paul ! Paul ! ». Dans la salle, il y a des gens qui ont grandi avec les Beatles, d'autres avec Live and let die, et puis leurs enfants. Des familles entières venues voir une légende marcher sur les braises de sa propre histoire. Et là, d'un coup, blackout. Un silence qui ne dure que trois secondes mais qui semble suspendre le monde entier. Puis les lumières explosent, et McCartney entre sur scène. Et là… c'est la décharge. Il commence avec deux nouveaux titres et un tube des Wings, faut oser. Riff costaud, voix impeccable. Et tout de suite après, sans prévenir, Got to Get You Into My Life. Et là, c'est Hiroshima dans la salle. Les gens pleurent. Dansent. Hurlent. Certains sont pétrifiés. Lui, il sourit. Ce sourire qu'on connaît par cœur, mais qui, vu d'aussi près, paraît presque irréel. Sur scène, McCartney est comme un gamin qui aurait retrouvé ses jouets préférés : sa voix, sa basse, et le public. Il bouge, plaisante, balance des anecdotes. Et quand il s'assoit au piano, tout chavire. Il prend une longue respiration. Un silence se fait. Et là, tout doucement, Let it be. Le temps s'arrête, la salle entière l'accompagne, comme quand il chante seul Yesterday. 1989, c'est bien plus qu'un comeback. C'est McCartney qui reprend possession de sa légende, debout, vivant, devant des milliers de gens qui n'ont jamais cessé d'y croire. Et quand il quitte le public ce soir-là, en balançant un see you next time, on sent bien que quelque chose vient de se passer. Que l'histoire recommence, qu'il ne va plus jamais redescendre de scène. Car malgré les millions, malgré un succès complètement hors norme, jouer de la musique en public, c'est toute sa vie, à Paul McCartney, depuis ses quinze ans.

An interview about Corey Feldman's 2025 single "Characters."

Live, from Springfield, it's Yesterday & Today's fabulous 211th episode - 1991 pt2! Well, maybe not LIVE, exactly, but certainly from Springfield, as this episode features the first of the Beatle cameos on the iconic cartoon primetime staple The Simpsons. When Homer stumbles upon Marge's old portrait tribute to Ringo Starr, The Simpsons re-enter the art scene to dramatic results. Even more dramatic, perhaps, is the cutaway scenes featuring none other than Ringo Starr himself, who is STILL responding to his 1960's fan mail when he too stumbles upon Marge's portrait. This iconic appearance will herald many more on the show - and also coincides with another as-yet-to-be iconic appearance by a former Beatle on a different TV channel. MTV's new Unplugged series has just debuted, and Paul McCartney's live LP of the recorded performance is out in the world! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On December 8, 1980, the world lost a legend. John Lennon—iconic Beatle, peace activist, and voice of a generation—was shot multiple times outside his New York City apartment in a senseless act of violence. In this episode of Seven Deadly Sinners, we unravel the twisted psychology of his killer, Mark David Chapman, whose obsession with fame and delusion collided in one of the most shocking celebrity murders in history. We explore Lennon's final days, the eerie premonitions, the haunting symbolism of The Catcher in the Rye, and the dark underbelly of idolatry. This isn't just a story about a murder—it's about the cost of fame, the fragility of peace, and the sinister side of devotion.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The GURU pays his respects to a great radio show that has left us way too soon. Beatle and Decker has left the air waves to be replaced by something else from noon to three. Michelle Beadle, the superstar legend that has worked everywhere from Sports Nation to the Muary Show, was the leader of a dynamic duo with her right-hand man Cody Decker. Decker, a former Minor League superstar and MLB player, gave us three hours of sports, comedy, and life lessons that made everyone feel like you were on the phone with your sister and brother. The decision to take them off the air came as a shock to everyone, including some of the host on their SiriusXM channel. The GURU TALKIN SPORTS podcast is thankful and gratefully appreciative for the two years together and the impact you both had on me. It's only a small thing that I can do to repay you for your time, respect, and friendship. We all love you, Franklin and Winnie, and hope to hear your outstanding chemistry together again soon. Check out this episode and all episodes on Spotify, Apple podcasts, and everywhere you get your podcast from. Oh yeah, there are sports mentioned in this episode as well. Enjoy the rest of your Sports Weekend, and we will be back next week a special Father's Day episode.

What's your Favourite Beatles Cover, Art? Or, more generally, for those listeners not named Art, what's your Favourite Beatles Cover Art? There are seemingly endless global 7” and 12” covers from which to choose. Despite all but a small few ever being authorized by the Fabs, a good many are iconic, super weird, or a mesmerizing combination of both. Loyal listener and Patreon member Mick B brought us this great suggestion, inspired by the live-performance photo on the cover of “The Beatles In Italy”; which, indeed features hits by The Beatles! Just not live. Or “In Italy”. Maybe Bruce Spizer will help us sue Calderstone/Odeon for fraud??? In this episode, the Cover Two (#GOBEARS) show…and tell…and show, if you smash this link for our WORLD PREMIERE SHOW VIDEO, their Favourite Beatles Cover Art. Along the way, they ask the hard hitting questions that those grotty, non-officially-Apple-authorized podcasts are too meat free Saturday, chicken-substitute-s**t to ask, like:

She was just a kid growing up in Spanish Harlem in the 1960s, the American-born daughter of Chinese immigrants who went to Catholic school, hated studying and fell in love with all things rock & roll, especially The Beatles. So when May Pang landed a gig at Apple Records, which quickly became working exclusively with John and Yoko as their full-time personal assistant, she found herself living a life beyond even her wildest dreams, all at the tender age of 19. Yet when the couples' marriage began to disintegrate, Yoko convinced their young (i.e., easy to control) assistant that she was the safest bet to date a newly single John. Quickly the pair began what the singer would call his “Lost Weekend,” an 18-month-long whirlwind romance that took the two to the center of the madness of L.A.'s music scene, reunited a newly sober Lennon with his long-estranged son Julian, and reconnect the former Beatle to his love for rock & roll, and all as the new couple fell ever deeper in love.With unbelievable access to rich archival footage, rarely-heard home recordings, and a collection of Lennon's own quirky, evocative sketches, famed writer and music executive May Pang takes us on a deeply emotional journey through the 18 months that would shape her life and reinvigorate one of the greatest figures in music. Featuring interviews with famed rocker Alice Cooper, Apple Records manager Tony King, and legendary drummer Jim Keltner, and leading to a surprising and emotional ending, The Lost Weekend: A Love Story is a funny, touching and vibrant portrait of first love, produced and directed by Eve Brandstein, Richard Kaufman and Stuart Samuels.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

## Record Rumble: Beatle Battle – John Lennon vs. Paul & Linda McCartneyIt's the ultimate post-Beatles showdown! In the grand finale of our Record Rumbles series, we pit two landmark solo albums head-to-head: John Lennon's raw, confessional Plastic Ono Band (1970) versus Paul & Linda McCartney's whimsical, genre-bending Ram (1971). We break down standout tracks, production styles, and the personal and musical jabs traded between these legendary ex-bandmates.

This is an Encore Presentation of my November 2021 interview with David Bedford, premier Beatles historian and expert, and Liverpool tour guide. David is from Liverpool, England - the hometown of John, Paul, George and Ringo - and is considered one of the world's foremost Beatles experts. He's written books on the Fab Four, gives Beatle tours in Liverpool, and had a prominent role in the documentary “Looking For Lennon”. David talks about the history and significance of Liverpool, the relationship of the city to the Beatles, and tells the back stories behind “Penny Lane” and “Strawberry Fields Forever”. My featured song in this episode is “I Wanna Be Your Girl” from the album East Side Sessions by my band Project Grand Slam.

In 1987, Paul McCartney invited Elvis Costello to write songs together. Over a series of sessions, they created a body of work from which both artists pulled selections for various albums over the years. The songs written by this partnership were used to augment their own individual work, filling in cracks when either member needed a different voice or perspective while creating the story of a complete album.JOIN THE PATREON FOR LESS THAN A $2 CUP OF COFFEE!!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/Frumess ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

It's weird how many songs the Beatles have that aren't "hits" but are still universally loved. It seems everyone knows and loves "I've Just Seen A Face," despite never being a single and never appearing on the big compilations. Maybe it's just one that's found a way to sink its' teeth into anyone who's ever known the rush of new love. Maybe it's just one of those classic Paul melodies. Maybe it's the kind of country, kind of rock, kind of acoustic line it seems to walk so well. Maybe it's all of those. Either way, it's an absolute gem.Joining us this week is Jack Petruzelli, producer, songwriter, musician, and founding member of The Fab Faux, in addition to his work with folks like Rufus Wainwright, Joan Osborne, and more. He joins us to talk about what makes the Fab Faux work (they're probably the best Beatles tribute around, no wigs or costumes needed, just A-list players). We take a trip across previous rankings to question my sanity, while also discussing the upcoming Magical Mystery Camp (June 24-27),  an all-inclusive, once-in-a-lifetime music vacation experience in the heart of the Catskills, exploring the music of The Beatles via performances, workshops, songwriting clinics and more! You can join the Fab Faux, Peter Asher, Joan Osborne, Laurence Juber and more, along with Beatle authors (and former RTB guests) Robert Rodriguez and Jerry Hammack, Ken Womack, and more in the Catskills for a Fab time!

McCartney's ability to craft the most capitvating, simple, and gorgeous melodies never fails to amaze. Conceived (we think/he tells us) as a song of encouragement and support for the civil rights movement, in full swing by 1968, "Blackbird" has become one of Paul's signature songs. It was the title of his poetry collection. It's one of the most tattoo'd Beatle lyrics and imagery. It's one of his best, and he knows it, and we know it. Joining us this week is Allan Kozinn, co-author of the brilliant McCartney Legacy book series. Vol.2 dropped at the end of 2024, and like Vol. 1 before,has garnered rave reviews. It's the most in-depth and thoughtful dive on Paul's non-Beatles years ever done, and we can't recommend it enough!

Beatle proteges Badfinger were an Apple band that simultaneously produced some of the finest pop/rock of their era while beset by management malfeasance leading directly to their decimation by suicide. It was fifty years ago that Pete Ham, their songwriter responsible for “No Matter What,” “Day After Day” and “Baby Blue” and co-writer with Tommy Evans of “Without You” took his life at 27. Only a few months before, he and the band recorded one final album (at Apple Studios), Head First. Multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Bob Jackson, the group's newest addition, was fully on board with the project, which went unreleased at the time but through his determination, was tracked down and fully realized in late 2024. In this conversation, Bob discusses his tenure in the band alongside Pete, Tommy, Mike Gibbins and the late Joey Molland, as well as his work with them through the years that followed as well as the lasting impact of the two tragedies.

More of Paul McCartney and his political notions.    Animal Rights, Gun Violence, "No More Landmines", and the environment have been a big part of the "McCartney brand" for the last 30-35 years.     We continue from last week, as we touch on nearly a full album of political thought from "the cute Beatle", and how Paul's brand of radicalism was both similar and different to that of his bandmate John Lennon.

It is a privilege to welcome six-time Emmy-nominated filmmaker Alan G. Parker to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  Before becoming a filmmaker, Alan worked as a press officer via Judy Totton Publicity and later in EMI's catalogue department in London. At EMI, he worked with bands such as Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers, and the Stranglers. He also wrote for magazines and published books about the Clash and Sid Vicious. In 2009, Alan directed Who Killed Nancy? And Monty Python: Almost the Truth – The Lawyers' Cut was nominated for six Emmy Awards. In 2017, he directed the documentary It was Fifty Years Ago Today! The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper & Beyond!  Alan G. Parker's latest documentary, Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade, focuses on music legend John Lennon's final years. The film follows the former Beatle as he navigates through the band's breakup while creating revolutionary music and standing at the forefront of anti-war protests that would make him one of the most influential pop culture icons of all-time.   Hear musicians, journalists, and the man's close friends set the record straight on the truth behind many famous Lennon moments brought to life by rare archive footage, including never-before-seen interviews. For the first time, the full story of how John and Yoko met is revealed, and watch as the curtain is lifted on the 1981 comeback tour that never came to be. This monumental film is a must-see for Lennon,  Beatles, and music fans.    On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Alan G. Parker took us behind the scenes about Borrowed Time's filmmaking process, including the insights he found from the documentary interview subjects who had interacted with John during that time.  Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade will be released in theatres on May 2, 2025.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/jake-s-take-with-jacob-elyachar--4112003/support.

Following on from "One to One", Martin and I spend this week and next discussing the politics of Paul (and Linda) McCartney.     This week, the Beatle years.    How Paul brought John into the peace movement (and possibly why he deserves that credit on "Give Peace a Chance"), McCartney and Bertrand Russell, Blackbird, Commonwealth and on through the early solo years.    Next week, a rundown on solo McCartney's political songs! #madeonzencastr

On July 24, 1964, twenty-four-year-old Matthew Kerry Smith disguised himself with a mask and a Beatle wig, hoisted a semi-automatic rifle, then held up a bank in North York, Ontario. The intelligent but troubled son of a businessman and mentally ill mother, Smith was a navy veteran with a young Indigenous wife and a hazy plan for violent revolution. Outside the bank, Smith was confronted by Jack Blanc, a former member of the Canadian and Israeli armies, who brandished a revolver. During a wild shootout, Blanc was killed, and Smith escaped ― only to become the object of the largest manhunt in the history of the Metropolitan Toronto Police Force. My guest is journalist and author Nate Hendley. He joins me to talk about his book, The Beatle Bandit: A Serial Bank Robber's Deadly Heist, a Cross-Country Manhunt, and the Insanity Plea that Shook the Nation.

Holy Beatles Discovery! Two 1963 concerts, in arguably made up British towns, have surfaced! They capture the early days of British Beatlemania (#BillyJoel) and are a revelatory addition to the Beatle live catalog. One can only hope Calderstone/UMe releases it in a souped up vinyl version, with an Apple and on Capitol's 1988 purple label, for only $75! #ThrowInADamnGnome #AndAnXDRChime As if we needed any more proof that the fabs were on top of their game well before they hit the U.S. (angry Chicago guy: "How come Tony & T.J. hate A Murica so bad? And how come I'm wet again, in my no-fun places?"), these raw and rare recordings reiterate the unmatched power of the early live Beatles. A newly, virtually, reunited Gab Two discuss this and more, and ask the questions only the censored, silenced media on Fox, Newsmax, Breitbart, countless podcasts, and Sinclair's local news affiliates are brave/high enough to ask, like:

New episode out now! We watched an episode from the second season of Psych, titled “Black and Tan: A Crime of Fashion”. We love how fun and quippy the show is, utilizing the familiar hyper-observant-detective trope in a new-ish way. We dig into the character relationships, discussing the balance and strength of Shawn and Gus' friendship as well as the father-son relationship of Shawn and Henry and how it evolves—although we do also believe everyone in the show needs therapy. We love Psych's early adoption of meta references, enjoy the consistent bits, wonder how Gus has time for his hobbies, and really appreciate the multiple homage episodes and their casting of ‘80s and ‘90s cult film guest stars. Katy is on crab TikTok, Carrie shares an excellent grilled cheese-based metaphor, Maddy would love an arcade birthday, and Mack tells a wild misheard lyrics story. We also do a collective Doofenshmirtz impression, decide who the least problematic Beatle is, appreciate Shawn's relationship advice, and list shows that were filmed in Vancouver. Listen to hear more about ephemeral fame, New Zealand accents, sexualized restaurant names, and ‘80s music. Enjoy! (You hear about Pluto?

In 1971, John Lennon performed publicly, for the first time in five years, at a rally decrying the injustice of Michigan police targeting a radical political activist for an elaborate undercover sting operation, resulting in a sentence of ten years in prison for passing two joints. The concert brought massive media attention, and John Sinclair soon after walked out of prison a free man, landing John Lennon on Richard Nixon's official enemies list. For the next three years, the President's "plumbers" harassed the former Beatle and his wife Yoko Ono, while the INS threatened him with deportation over an old hashish bust back in England. Meanwhile the FBI tapped his phones and sent agents to tail his every move. Lennon, Ono, and their legal team fought them every step, and along the way created a new legal precedent in immigration law that still stands as today's DREAM act.

One of the best things about the White Album is seeing so many different sides of each Beatle. To close out the first disc, we get a rare glimpse of the really vulnerable and sensitive John, a side we really haven't seen laid bare prior to this. It's a gorgeous track, lead by an almost hypnotic finger picking pattern, with a single note, bare lead vocal practically forcing you to listen to what he's singing about. Of course Julia was his mother, but is this just a song to/about her? I'd always thought so, until this conversation.Joining us this week is the always wonderful Jude Southerland Kessler, the author of The John Lennon series. Jude always seems to know just how to blow our minds with her knowledge and telling of John's story, and this episode is no different. The newest book in the series, Volume 5.2, which is called Some Forever ,Shades of Life Pt 2 covers August of 1965-1966 and contrary to what we discuss in the episode, will be out around August of this year (darn printing delays!). These books are fantastic, we can't wait to dive it and suggest you do the same as well! Check it out at johnlennonseries.com.What do you think about "Julia" at #74? Too high? Too low?

This week on Rockonteurs, we are delighted to welcome Luke Pritchard from The Kooks to the show.The Kooks were formed in Brighton in the mid 00s and their 2006 debut album ‘Inside In, Inside Out' sold 2 million copies in the UK alone. Their follow up ‘Konk' was another UK No.1 album and they are enjoying a new resurgence as social media has made them a generations new favourite band again. Luke joins Gary and Guy to talk about his influences from Dylan to the Stones, how success so early on in their career was a double-edged sword, how he once kicked Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkey's in the face at a gig and embarrassed himself in front of a Beatle! Never / Know is the new album from The Kooks and is out on May 9th.

More aftershocks have been felt in Myanmar as the military junta continues bombing rebels. We speak to Kim Aris, Aung San Suu Kyi's son, about her 4 years' incarceration in a Burmese jail. Also: Donald Trump has said he was very angry with President Putin for questioning the credibility of the Ukrainian president; and we explore the relationship between John Lennon and his fellow Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney.

Andy Warhol was the first artist to achieve rock star status. He was a Beatle with a silkscreen printer. His work and play space, the Factory, attracted people of all ages; rich and poor, straight and gay, sane and…not so sane. It was in the Factory that he was shot by a would-be assassin. He was rushed to a hospital and pronounced clinically dead. But Andy Warhol's second life began the moment he was resurrected on an operating table. As soon as his heart began to beat again, he became a true cultural icon – bigger than his paintings or his Polaroids or his experimental films, bigger than life itself. Andy Warhol became the future.
