The third part of Tony's chat with The Beatles biographer Ian Leslie, exploring the emotional and creative partnership between John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They discuss how Lennon's 1966 “more popular than Jesus” remark shook him, how the Beatles abandoned touring for studio experimentation, and how Yoko Ono and Linda Eastman became catalysts for John and Paul pulling apart. Business conflicts, especially over management, deepened divisions even as the band continued producing remarkable work, culminating in Abbey Road. Despite a turbulent breakup, Lennon and McCartney slowly rebuilt a loose friendship before Lennon's death, and the Beatles' artistic legacy continues to shape modern music.Hosted by Sir Tony Robinson | Instagram @sirtonyrobinsonProducer: Melissa FitzGerald | X @melissafitzgWithIan Leslie | www.ian-leslie.comIan Leslie is the author of acclaimed and bestselling books on human psychology and creativity which have been translated into over a dozen languages.

December 8th marks the 45th anniversary of John Lennon's death in 1980. In this special rebroadcast of Modern Law Library, we're looking back at how his immigration helped expose corruption within the Nixon administration and rewrote the immigration process. His attorney, Leon Wildes, sat down with Lee Rawles and his son Michael Wildes to discuss what the case and the legal legacy Lennon left behind. ----- When immigration attorney Leon Wildes got a call from an old law school classmate in January 1972 about representing a musician and his wife who were facing deportation, their names didn't ring a bell. Even after meeting with them privately at their New York City apartment, Wildes wasn't entirely clear about who his potential clients were. He told his wife that he'd met with a Jack Lemon and Yoko Moto. “Wait a minute, Leon,” his wife Ruth said to him. “Do you mean John Lennon and Yoko Ono?” What Wildes didn't know when accepting the Lennons' case was that he and his clients were facing a five-year legal battle which would eventually expose corruption at the highest levels of the Nixon administration and change the U.S. immigration process forever. His account of that legal battle is told in “John Lennon vs. the USA: The Inside Story of the Most Bitterly Contested and Influential Deportation Case in United States History.” Leon Wildes and his son Michael (now a managing partner at the firm his father founded, Wildes & Weinberg) joined the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles to discuss the legacy of the case and the effect it's had on the entire family.

On ne racontera jamais assez comment l'incroyable aventure des Beatles a failli cent fois prendre fin avant de trouver la voie du succès. Ainsi quand ces gamins rentrent quasiment les uns après les autres de leur première et longue série d'engagements à Hambourg. George Harrison qui n'était pas encore majeur a en effet été expulsé du territoire suite à une dénonciation aux autorités par le patron d'un bar avec qui ils s'étaient brouillés. Pete Best et Paul McCartney avaient été arrêtés peu de temps après, eux aussi, ils jouaient sans permis de travail, John Lennon et Stuart Sutcliffe, eux, étaient rentrés à Liverpool les derniers. C'est la débâcle. Paul voit les semaines passer sans nouvelles des autres. Personne ne semble appeler personne. C'est fini.Ne reste pas comme ça. Trouve-toi un job, dit le père McCartney. Alors Paul trouve un. Les jours passent, l'hiver est bien avancé quand John et George arrivent chez Massey and Coggins, trouvant Paul en train de balayer la cour.Tu viens ? On a trouvé un engagement au Cavern ? Le Cavern est alors un club de jazz ouvert quelques années plus tôt dans les sous-sols d'un entrepôt, près des quais. Les jeunes s'y rendent pour écouter des groupes jouer en soirée et sur le temps de midi, on y sert du café et de la soupe, l'endroit est glauque mais c'est mieux que rien. D'ailleurs la vie pour les jeunes à cette époque, c'est rien.J'peux pas, répond Paul, j'ai un job fixe maintenant. Je gagne 7 livres et 10 shillings par semaine, ils m'apprennent un boulot, j'peux pas rêver mieux.John et George traînent Paul jusqu'au Cavern. Tu devrais arrêter de faire tout ce que dit ton père, lui dit John, dis-lui d'aller se faire foutre. Il ne va pas te tuer, il est trop vieux pour ça.Paul sent la vibration du public, ce soir au Cavern Club. Et après avoir dormi dessus, il ne met plus un pied chez Massey and Coggins. Tant pis pour ce que son père va dire. Le Cavern Club a annoncé sur les affiches une représentation unique des Beatles avec, en sous-titre, « directement débarqué de Hambourg ». Mais vous parlez drôlement bien Anglais, leur disent des filles après leur prestation. Tu te rends compte Paul, elles nous prennent pour des Allemands, rit John Lennon. Oui, ce soir du 9 février 1961, les Beatles, que les trois quarts de la salle pensent être des Allemands, rencontrent leur premier vrai succès. Eux qui jusque-là, étaient le groupe de bal ou du bar, sont cette fois écoutés comme de vrais artistes, avec un public qui vient les voir après pour les féliciter. Et croyez-moi, ça fait du bien quand on sort de scène. Et oui, ils réalisent qu'ils ont changé en jouant six heures par soir durant trois mois sans interruption à Hambourg. Ils sont passés du bon groupe, comme les autres, à des gars qui font ce que personne ne fait. Hé les Beatles, bravo, hein, votre rock'n'roll, c'est autre chose que la bouillie de Cliff Richard, dit un Teddy Boy. Quant à leur nationalité allemande, il va falloir deux bonnes années pour que cette légende disparaisse, il faut dire que les Beatles vont encore retourner jouer plus de deux cents soirs à Hambourg. Et à chaque retour à Liverpool, le public sort du Cavern Club en se disant que non, décidément, personne ne met l'ambiance comme les Beatles.

L'arrivée de l'incroyable série Anthology sur Disney+, 22 ans après la sortie en box DVD du plus monumental “doc” rock jamais réalisé, va à n'en pas douter fasciner plusieurs générations de spectateurs. Car bien au-delà du triomphe commercial jamais égalé, c'est surtout l'histoire des quatre musiciens qui vaut la peine d'être racontée. Les Beatles, c'est le Seigneur des Anneaux, le Star Wars, les Chevaliers de la Table Ronde du rock'n'roll, en clair la plus grande légende du XX° siècle, foisonnante, touchante et truffée de rebondissements aussi inattendus que spectaculaires. Vrai, qui à la fin des années 40 aurait pu prédire un tel destin à ces gamins courant dans les rues pour jouer dans les “bombies” comme on les appelle à Liverpool. Oh ils ignorent ce que ça veut dire mais c'est dans ces terrains vagues, plaies béantes dans des quartiers bombardés durant la guerre qui les a vus naître, que ces mômes aux genoux écorchés et gelés ont trouvé leur terrain de jeu. Ils n'imaginent pas une vie en dehors de Liverpool, cette cité portuaire noircie par la pollution des usines et des bateaux qui y accostent venant du monde entier. Ils parlent d'ailleurs un Anglais très singulier, le scouse, que personne ne comprend une fois qu'on s'en éloigne de dix miles. Pourtant, à l'automne 1960, nous les retrouvons dans un autre port, Hambourg, une ville qui a bien des points communs avec la leur. Particulièrement ses quartiers mal famés, hantés par des marins ivres le soir, errant jusqu'au bout de la nuit parmi les putes, comme ils disent, et voguant de cafés en lieux de débauche où on apprécie les groupes britanniques, les seuls à pouvoir jouer cette musique américaine des Elvis Presley et autres Bill Haley qu'ils apprécient tant. Ils sont alors six Beatles à jouer dans les bars de Reeperbahn et ses rues voisines. Oui, on parle toujours du 5ème Beatle mais ils sont six à en avoir fait partie officiellement. John Lennon a fondé les Quarrymen en 1956 alors qu'il était à la Quarry Bank High School, rejoint par Paul McCartney l'année suivante, puis George Harrison et enfin, Stuart Sutcliffe et Pete Best. Ils sont donc cinq, quatre guitaristes et un batteur, c'est d'ailleurs la maman du dernier arrivé, Pete Best, qui en leur trouvant pas mal d'engagements a enfin apporté une stabilité au groupe. Sans la maman de Pete, les Beatles auraient peut-être disparu des radars. Et tant qu'on parle des Beatles, c'est John et Stuart qui ont trouvé ce nom en janvier 1960.Alors imaginez l'arrivée à Hambourg fin 1960 pour ces jeunes hommes qui n'ont jamais franchi les frontières de la Grande-Bretagne. Assis sur leur matos dans le mini-minibus de leur manager qui n'est autre que le patron du Jacaranda, un café de Liverpool, ils débarquent en fin de soirée après avoir traversé la Hollande. Le patron de la boîte où ils doivent jouer, l'Indra, pas très chaleureux, les loge dans une pièce en béton sans fenêtre avec des matelas par terre, dans un cinéma borderline, avec juste les water sans eau chaude pour se débarbouiller. Ces deux lieux aujourd'hui encore miraculeusement intacts, c'est là où les Beatles vont apprendre leur métier en jouant plusieurs heures toutes les nuits, et où ils vont croiser Ringo Starr, le futur sixième Beatle qui joue avec un autre groupe de Liverpool. Mais c'est surtout là qu'ils vont comprendre le contact avec le public mieux que leurs semblables british et développer leur art comme personne, faisant d'eux le groupe de scène le plus phénoménal qu'on ait vu, suscitant des émotions dans le public féminin comme plus jamais on en verra. Non, vraiment, quand quatre ans plus tard, les Beatles débarquent à New York, aucun Américain n'a vu et entendu jouer LEUR musique comme le font les Beatles. C'est sauvage, le public exulte, leurs parents sont horrifiés.
In Part 2 of our discussion on John Stuart Mill's Utilitarianism, co-editor Peter Singer returns to discuss the cover design of the Norton Library edition, the formation of an argument about a philosophical thought, and a soundtrack for the book (spoiler: John Lennon's "Imagine" is involved). Peter Singer, an Australian philosopher, is currently Ira W. DeCamp Professor of Bioethics at Princeton University. He is best known for Animal Liberation, first published in 1975 and widely considered to be the founding statement of the animal rights movement; and for The Life You Can Save, which led him to found the charity of the same name. His other books include Practical Ethics, The Most Good You Can Do, and the two books co-authored with Katarzyna de Lazari- Radek. In 2005, Time magazine named him one of the World's 100 Most Influential People.

Ha lieve luisteraar, Lou hier. In deze uitzending van de Miracle Town Radio Show een antwoord op de vraag van Floortje over hoe je om kunt gaan met de uitdagingen van ziekte. Kun je dat weg manifesteren? Persoonlijk ben ik niet de juiste gids als het gaat om jezelf helen van ziekte. Ik kan nog niet eens een hoofdpijn weg manifesteren, daar neem ik paracetamol voor. Maar… Ik heb wel ervaring met kanker en zes weken lang dagelijkse bestraling ondergaan en helse pijn. Dat heb ik allemaal niet ‘weg gemanifesteerd' maar wel ontzettend veel van geleerd en aan gehad. En daar gaat deze uitzending over. ‘Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans' zei John Lennon terecht. Maar als je er vanuit gaat dat Life, net als het universum, altijd vóór je werkt dan maakt het niet uit wat er op je pad komt want dan maak je dáár weer een plan van. Tot volgende week! Alle liefs Lou. P.S. Er werd dánkbaar gebruik gemaakt van de aanbieding voor Charlie en de Wonderlijke Wetten van Juf Universe. Die aanbieding is écht voorbij maar we hebben nu als kassakoopje bij de OMGame Winter Spelen alsnog de mogelijkheid gecreëerd om de Noteflix van Charlie voor die super prijs te kunnen bemachtigen.

The Wolf & Action Jackson will admit they aren't the world's biggest Beatles fans. Though we appreciate their influence to help create the music we love through generations, we generally don't gravitate towards their albums. However, in researching Rubber Soul as it turns 60 on December 3, we gained new appreciation and respect for the Lads from Liverpool. They had grown up quite a bit in the last few years and found themselves writing more mature lyrics while experimenting with different sounds. The Beatles had met and befriended Bob Dylan and in their second trip to the US had met Elvis and formed mutual admiration societies with The Byrds, Motown and Stax. They experimented with LSD and the boys used to call Rubber Soul the pot album as they partook during the recording. So as they wove all those influencers into their own music, they also started to write more personal songs. Paul exchanged sweet nothings for standoffish goodbyes in songs like You Won't See Me and I'm Looking Through You. A contemplative John Lennon reminisces about growing up (In My Life) and the eternal search for that special someone (Girl). Young George Harrison was ready to step up to the plate with his own mature offerings like Think For Yourself and If I Needed Someone. The album was well received by peers and critics and is considered the point where the album became more than just a larger collection of songs but one statement from a moment in time. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) was an international hit about an affair John had. Michelle seems like a sweet ode to a French girl when it was the boys making fun of Paul for trying to speak French at parties to meet girls. Even the big hit Drive My Car is very tongue in cheek about the silliness and pitfalls of fame. Though the oldest of them were 25, The Beatles proved they were more than just cute mop tops with guitars. They were artists pushing the envelope in the studio of what rock music could be. Rubber Soul was that next step in the evolution of the band and rock.

Synopsis Rock N Roll Archaeology excavates the divergent paths of Elton John and John Lennon in the first half of the 1970s, a period where one man sprinted toward the brightest spotlight on Earth while the other desperately sought an escape. From Elton's star-making coronation at the Troubadour to Lennon's chaotic "Lost Weekend" in Los Angeles, their journeys collide in a New York studio with a high-stakes wager over the song "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night." This is a story of two friends, two paths, and the unforeseen consequences of getting exactly what you wish for, set against the backdrop of the post-Beatles power vacuum and the dizzying heights of 70s superstardom.

I hear Jeff Lynne has recently been sidelined by a mysterious infection, and had to cancel some performances. We wish the revered music producer and founder of ELO good health and a quick recovery. Today, Bill and Rich, The Splendid Bohemians would like to celebrate this versatile Rock stylist by playing two cuts separated by decades, from two vastly different incarnations, but somehow identifiable as his, if only by the unique sensibility in which these cuts are marinated: Imposters of Life's Magazine by The Idle Race, and Tweeter and the Monkey Man by The Traveling Wilburys.There are certain tropes that signify this creator's hand: catchy musical themes, thick layers of horns and strings and witty Beatle-esque harmonies - (he even got to work with the resurrected voice of John Lennon when producing the Beatle's ghostly “reunion”tracks Free As a Bird, and Real Love. Like so many of his generation, Jeff came up under the spell of the mop tops, and even this early recording by the Idle Race has that 1967 Psychedelic flavor, pre-dating by a year, but somehow reminiscent of his future Willburys bandmate, George Harrison's song Savoy Truffle. IMPOSTERS OF LIFE'S MAGAZINEThe personnel changes of the several Birmingham beat groups in the mid-sixties are too numerous to recite here, but one group, The Nightriders are notable because they took on a teenaged Lynne as guitarist in '66 - and changed their name to The Idle Race (a more timely handle). Roy Wood of the Move, Jeff's friend and future partner in the formation of ELO, helped the IR get signed, and influential DJ John Peel was an early and strong promoter of the group. Jeff's tenure with IR was short lived however, and in 1970 he founded (with Wood) the legendary Electric Light Orchestra.This early composition has all the hallmarks that would later define Jeff's work: witty, yet Romantic lyrics; hard driving rhythms, but with plenty of surprisingly lush filigree. The ambition of the work, with its startlingly different movements, is impressive for such a young talent - but, at the core is Jeff's unmistakable ear for the “hook” - marking him as one of the most reliable masters of Pop.TWEETER AND THE MONKEY MANTweeter and the Monkey Man, from 22 years later - demonstrates how far the musician had come professionally. Here Jeff is, arguably the lowest man on the totem pole of The Traveling Wilburys, a Super Group's Super Group (with a Beatle, George Harrison, future Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Roy - fucking - Orbison…., yet his mark is unmistakeable. This tune, supposedly written by Bob Dylan, who spittingly delivers it like a parody of Springsteen's New Jersey, drenched in a Sopranos sauce - and it's just plain fun. But, the chorus, penned by Jeff with George Harrison, lifts the track to the existential level of a rock opera, giving it “the hook,” the drama and the flair. The layers on this musical cake are delicious - there's George's sly slide work; the Lady Madonna horns, the timpani booms counterpointed by a tinkling piano riff; the building of the strings and horns and oohing and aaahing harmonies… they suck me in every time. Good stuff!

The second part of Tony's chat with Beatles biographer Ian Leslie, exploring how John Lennon and Paul McCartney's unique and complex relationship shaped The Beatles. When Tony first heard ‘Love Me Do' he was blown away by the new sound he was hearing, and he's been a lifelong fan of The Beatles ever since. Today Tony and Ian are discussing the band's internal dynamics, the emotional histories that shaped John and Paul, and how drugs influenced their relationship and songwriting, pushing it to new creative places. In ‘Tomorrow Never Knows', they fused John's conceptual vision with Paul's avant-garde techniques to produce something radically new: as Ian says, “John didn't want to write a song about a trip; he wanted to create something which is a trip.”Hosted by Sir Tony Robinson | Instagram @sirtonyrobinsonProducer: Melissa FitzGerald | X @melissafitzgWithIan Leslie | www.ian-leslie.comIan Leslie is the author of acclaimed and bestselling books on human psychology and creativity which have been translated into over a dozen languages.

The Wolf & Action Jackson will admit they aren't the world's biggest Beatles fans. Though we appreciate their influence to help create the music we love through generations, we generally don't gravitate towards their albums. However, in researching Rubber Soul as it turns 60 on December 3, we gained new appreciation and respect for the Lads from Liverpool. They had grown up quite a bit in the last few years and found themselves writing more mature lyrics while experimenting with different sounds. The Beatles had met and befriended Bob Dylan and in their second trip to the US had met Elvis and formed mutual admiration societies with The Byrds, Motown and Stax. They experimented with LSD and the boys used to call Rubber Soul the pot album as they partook during the recording. So as they wove all those influencers into their own music, they also started to write more personal songs. Paul exchanged sweet nothings for standoffish goodbyes in songs like You Won't See Me and I'm Looking Through You. A contemplative John Lennon reminisces about growing up (In My Life) and the eternal search for that special someone (Girl). Young George Harrison was ready to step up to the plate with his own mature offerings like Think For Yourself and If I Needed Someone. The album was well received by peers and critics and is considered the point where the album became more than just a larger collection of songs but one statement from a moment in time. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) was an international hit about an affair John had. Michelle seems like a sweet ode to a French girl when it was the boys making fun of Paul for trying to speak French at parties to meet girls. Even the big hit Drive My Car is very tongue in cheek about the silliness and pitfalls of fame. Though the oldest of them were 25, The Beatles proved they were more than just cute mop tops with guitars. They were artists pushing the envelope in the studio of what rock music could be. Rubber Soul was that next step in the evolution of the band and rock.

Barry Greenfield began his musical ride in 1965 when he was just 15 years old. Over the subsequent decades, Barry has become a greatly appreciated, old-school, singer songwriter, with three number one records, twenty-five plus covers, and life as a touring musician and storyteller. He actually walked away from the music business in the mid-70s saying, “it's not for me,” and yet he remained a dedicated songwriter and performer, releasing twelve LP's while sharing his music with audiences everywhere. Barry's autobiography, My Journey to Blue Sky, was recently published by New Haven Publishing. It covers the intimate details of his professional years, including, standing on the shoulders of various giants that he has known or worked with, like Cher, John Lennon, Larry Carlton, Supertramp, Kenny Rogers, Harry Nilsson, 10cc, and more. Barry's classic album, Blue Sky, released by RCA, has reached its 50th anniversary. And now with his book, Barry reveals the life changing experiences he received while attending the ‘music school' of the real world in those halcyon days of 1963 to 1975. Barry learned everything by listening, watching, and questioning. Please be sure to stick around at the end of the show for a very special treat. Barry has graciously lent us his powerful hit song, “New York is Closed Tonight.,” which we'll play for everyone to enjoy. After 9/11, CNN played “New York is Closed Tonight,” juxtaposed to what was happening to the twin towers.

Happy Lonely Guy Friday, Heal Squad! With a little help from John Lennon's “Working Class Hero,” Kev unpacks the ways many of us were molded, managed, or minimized… and how that old conditioning shows up today as self-abandonment. It's Kev's birfday week and he shares how any “lonely guy birthday” becomes beautiful with an annual “I see you.' and a reminder to be grateful. He breaks down how saying yes when your body screams no, shrinking to keep the peace, or trading your truth for someone else's comfort sends one clear signal to the universe: “I don't matter.” And how the universe can't support a life you're not willing to stand in. How self-abandonment quietly builds a life that doesn't fit, and how tiny daily choices begin to undo it. He also dives into the difference between Catholic culture vs. Catholic faith (and how every religion has its version), why endings reorganize your whole timeline, and why honesty over appeasement is the real path home to yourself. In true RGF fashion, we also cover the too-late Thanksgiving, the too-fast Christmas, Mariah Carey officially kicking off holiday celebrations on Nov 1st. On behalf of Kelsey, Ann, Maria, and the whole Heal Squad fam… Bye Betches, and we'll talk shortly.

//The Wire//2300Z November 17, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTS TAKE PLACE IN MEXICO CITY OVER THE WEEKEND AS PRESSURE MOUNTS ON SHEINBAUM. ICE OPERATIONS PIVOT TO CHARLOTTE NC AS SIGNIFICANT RESISTANCE IS EXPECTED.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Mexico: Weekend protests turned to riots on Saturday, as various groups expressed their concerns with government.Analyst Comment: Most of the demonstrations in Mexico City remained fairly low-intensity (by local standards), however a few riots did break out throughout the day. These demonstrations are a continuation of the global trend of "Gen Z" protests, with many of the participants demonstrating for a wide array of causes, many of which are contradictory political ideologies. Nevertheless, all of the negative sentiment was focused on Sheinbaum, as dissent grows with her handling of Cartel violence throughout the nation.Caribbean: The situation continues as before, with a few strikes being conducted on narco vessels over the past few days by the US Navy. In Venezuela tensions remain the same, with Maduro making more public appearances than normal, mostly commenting on the rising tensions with the United States. Over the weekend Maduro serenaded an audience with an impromptu performance of *Imagine* by John Lennon during remarks urging a peaceful outcome to the conflict.Analyst Comment: If Maduro is attempting to soothe his population in order to reassure them that an all-out war is not about to break out, there are probably less disturbing ways to go about it. Either way, this embarrassing display probably does convey the seriousness of the situation, considering that Maduro knows the US is gunning for regime change.-HomeFront-Washington - Over the weekend the US Coast Guard successfully conducted a rescue of stranded boaters who were reported overdue after failing to return from their trip. A man and his son became stranded after their boat capsized in rough weather in the Pacific Ocean near the mouth of the Columbia River. The boaters were rescued by a Coast Guard helicopter out of Air Station Astoria on the Oregon side of the river, and transported to a hospital where both were treated for hypothermia.Analyst Comment: Considering the cold water temperatures this time of year, it is undoubtedly a miracle both survived. This incident also highlights the importance of establishing (and sticking to) an Overdue Boater plan when carrying out outdoor activities, especially as we move into the winter months where Search and Rescue operations present many more challenges nationwide.North Carolina: Counter-ICE operations have intensified as deportation operations move to Charlotte as part of Operation CHARLOTTE'S WEB. So far over a hundred illegals with extensive criminal records have been arrested throughout the city since the operation began a few days ago.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In Charlotte, a very interesting development was observed over the weekend as ICE moved into the area. The Compare Foods grocery store announced free home delivery of grocery items during the period of time that the ICE operation is expected to take place. This food store primarily serves the Latino community and most of their social media posts are in Spanish. While they don't explicitly state it in their social media posts, the implication is clear...this company intends to cash in on the illegals who are ordering goods from home, because they're wanted by ICE.As it stands, this is probably a PR stunt, but efforts like this put everyone in a tough spot. If the feds arrest the store management for aiding and abetting, the city will burn for nothing and the same local Charlotte judges who regularly let murders go free will absolutely let a grocery store manager go free as well. On the other hand, if the feds do nothing, t
In this episode of Leadership Liner Notes, Sean Gaillard reflects on the second anniversary of Now and Then, the final song by The Beatles. What began as an unfinished John Lennon demo decades ago became a testament to legacy, collaboration, and the belief that the impossible can become possible. Drawing parallels between the Beatles' creative journey and the challenges of leadership, Sean explores how sometimes the first idea does not work out, and that is okay. Like Paul McCartney's unwavering hope to finish Now and Then, leaders are called to keep faith in their vision, even when timing, tools, or acceptance are not on their side. This episode invites listeners to reflect on their own “unfinished songs” in leadership and life, the dreams and ideas that still deserve another chance.
