The Beatles' songs often have such creativity, depth and nuance. Lyrics open to multiple interpretations, married to music that simultaneously captures and conveys the 'feel' of those lyrics. Here, together with sociologist Candy Leonard, author of the book 'Beatleness: How the Beatles and Their Fans Remade the World', we discuss the songwriters' journey: from the days of sexual innuendo in their lyrics to those, just a few years later, of overt references - while transitioning from misogyny to feminism with love thrown into the mix. The Music Girl Getting Better Happiness is a Warm Gun Why Don’t We Do it in the Road Don’t Let Me Down I’ve Got a Feeling I Saw Her Standing There Please Please Me She Loves You I’ll Get You All I’ve Got to Do You Can’t Do That I’ll Cry Instead Run for Your Life She’s a Woman When I Get Home Another Girl You’re Going to Lose That Girl The Night Before Day Tripper Lovely Rita Yer Blues Oh! Darling She’s So Heavy Woman is the Nigger of the World Hi, Hi, Hi Woman
I'm joined by author and sociologist Candy Leonard to discuss her 2014 book 'Beatleness'.Based on interviews with hundreds of fans of different ages and genders, Beatleness is a richly textured cultural history, showing what it was like to grow up immersed in Beatles—from Ed Sullivan to the Apple rooftop—eagerly awaiting each record and watching their evolution.More information about this book and author can be found at http://beatleness.com/
Fifty years on and the "Paul is dead" hoax has lost none of its power to fascinate on so many levels. Perhaps the most compelling angle for examination is how did something so clearly nonsensical in the light of day get disseminated so widely and not just dismissed out of hand? It seems that a perfect storm of circumstance gave it traction and resonance, with both what was happening within The Beatles and within the community most receptive to believing that truth was not what authority figures told us. Helping unpack all of this is sociologist Candy Leonard, author of Beatleness. Her book covers the subject in some detail.

First off, listeners: kindly indulge the first 15 minutes, which represents an audio document of 1968 (January through end of August). It’s one thing to know what happened that year, but it’s quite another to hear the immediacy of actual sound, both news and music. 1968 was a convulsive stream of history and it is with that context in mind that we can come to a better understanding of the world The Beatles operated in. Second: this conversation was an attempt to discuss how the Beatles and their audience interacted at a critical moment: between the triumph of Sgt. Pepper and the year of breakdown. Candy Leonard, author and sociologist, is ideally suited to illuminate this dynamic. Her book, Beatleness, explores “how The Beatles and their fans remade the world.” As always in such discussions, a certain amount of meandering occurs, and therefore a lot more than 1968 is fair game in this conversation. Check out more of Candy’s writings here: http://beatleness.com/beatleness-blog/ The post 155: 1968 with Candy Leonard appeared first on Something About The Beatles.

On this episode of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, Mike B offers us a review of a very interesting book he recently read. The book is titled "Beatleness", by Candy Leonard. This interesting book tells the story of the Beatles invasion fifty years ago, through the eyes of fans who share their memories. The input by regular folks from that time period, who were kids during that era when the Beatles were in force is a refreshing perspective in contrast to other compilations that feature the opinions of experts. Listen in to hear this interesting review. Next we remember Ian Rose, who was a contributor to Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site back in 2010-2011. Ian passed way on December 30, 2014 after several years of recurring health issues. We look back at his career and his contributions to our program. In addition, we play a clip of Ian's first appearance on our shows. Long-time listeners will remember Ian and the many feature pieces he did on our show. We thank Ian for his contributions and remember him and his role in our early shows. Finally we look back at the pedal cars of the 1950s and 60s. These toys that kids would ride in and were powered by little legs. These pedal or kiddie cars are very collectible and we look back at the history of these toys and share memories of how kids enjoyed these neat toys in the past. Our Retro-Commercial is for Pepto-Bismol from the 1950s, featuring a catchy jingle for this perennial stomach medicine. We look forward to having you with us on Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site, on the Galaxy Nostalgia Network!
