Riding a serious creative hot streak in 1967, Paul was inspired by the "mystery tour" trips of his younger years, a bus trip to an unknown destination, and developed an idea for a film version of that, starring the Beatles. Of course, being the psychedelic year of 1967, it'd be magical, a Magical Mystery Tour. In needing a theme song or fanfare for the project, not dissimilar to what the band needed for the Sgt. Pepper album a few months prior, the band put together a bombastic track, with rocking drums, blasting horns, and multiple tempo changes. It's great to hear the band ROCK in 1967, and the horns are just piercing and powerful. The sped up vocals add to the trippiness of the affair, and it has a wonderful fade off into the mysterious unknown. It's does a great job as a theme song for MMT, both the film, and album (or EP), but as far as "a song" it doesn't necessarily carry much weight. But as always, it's fun, it's catchy, and it's exciting...it's the Beatles, after all isn't it? Joining us this week is Sean Gaillard, author of "The Pepper Effect: Tap into the Magic of Creativity, Collaboration, and Innovation" as a look at the intersection of the Beatles and education. Sean's also the host of "The Principal Liner Notes Podcast," and has contributed articles to PBS and Culture Sonar. AND he's a big Monkees fan, so you know we're gonna get along smashingly. We talk about exactly what IS "the Pepper effect," having confidence in your ability to explore and be creative, being willing to fail, Beatle rituals, and Julia's desire to never go on a trip without a destination. Be sure to follow Sean on Twitter and Instagram at @smgaillard, and subscribe to "The Principal Liner Notes" wherever you get podcasts. We dedicate this episode to the memory of Taylor Hawkins, drummer of the Foo Fighters, who passed away Friday March 25th, the night before recording this episode. The music he created and the joy and love he helped share will live on, and he will be very, very missed. What do you think? Too high? Too low? Just right?

"When You've Seen Beyond Yourself" will be the topic of discussion in the fourth episode in #ThePepperMindset. Co-hosts Sean Gaillard and Lanea Stagg will chat with professional Beatles scholar Aaron Krerowicz and Marti Edwards, the founder of the Chicagoland Beatle People Fan Club in the 1960s. Krerowic won a research grant through the University of Hartford in 2011 to study The Beatles, and has since presented his analysis of the band’s music through more than 300 presentations throughout the USA and England. A complete list of his presentation topics and upcoming appearances is available at AaronKrerowicz.com. He is the author of four books on The Beatles, found at Amazon; and his video series The Beatles Minute, is found on his website and YouTube. Marti Edwards, along with her friend, Joe Carroccio, is the author of 16 in ’64: The Beatles & The Baby Boomers, a book available on the website www.16in64.com. Edwards, a lifelong music fan, had the thrilling experience of meeting The Beatles in 1964 and presenting them with an honorary plaque from her fan club. Wanting to share her story and photos from the event with other people, it was suggested she write a book. With the help of Carroccio, she did just that. It is a story for Baby Boomers and new Beatles fans alike. www.aaronkrerowicz.com www.16in64.com www.principallinernotes.wordpress.com www.laneastagg.com

Pay attention, class. This week Skillset salutes to John Hughes, the prom king of the high school movie. First up, step into the office of high school principal Sean Gaillard to ask if that class-skipping punk Ferris is really the hero of Ferris Bueller. Then, we hand the microphone to guitarist Sam Cannariato of the cover band Molly and the Ringwalds to talk about how John Hughes' soundtracks became eternal hits. And finally: legend has it that John Hughes' original version of The Breakfast Clubwas two-and-half hours. Audiences have never seen a full hour of lost footage, including a whole new character. Assistant editor Nancy Frazen was there -- and we ask her what got cut out. So raise a fist and let's get marching on this week’s episode of Skillset.
