The Concert for George - Part 1/3: Paul or Nothing Bonus Episode #119.
Saturday Jun 03, 2023
Saturday Jun 03, 2023
I'm not saying I started this podcast more than half a decade ago to specificially as an excuse talk about this concert...but it was certainly a leading factor!
In this part one we will be going through all the backstory, personal and trivia behind the incomparably titanic tribute concert that was held in George Harrison's honour in 2002. The concert, rather aptly, was called The Concert For George and it is simply one of the best things ever.
Also, I did not plan for this one to be nearly this long, but here we are.
Please enjoy. Peace and love,
Sam

The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug...Skynet fights back.
Please enjoy. Peace and love,
Sam

So Skylar is basically the young, hip person who goes to all the cool Beatle events (that I cannot attend), whom I shamelessly live through, and whose perspective I exploit for content.
Thankfully she was kind enough to walk me through two awesome events in recent Beatledom, those being The Music of Paul McCartney charity concert and The Fest for Beatle Fans, 2023.
Please enjoy. Peace and love,
Sam

Love and Let Die, with John Higgs: Paul or Nothing Bonus Episode #105.
Tuesday Feb 28, 2023
Tuesday Feb 28, 2023
Once again I get to sit down and discuss a bloody good book that I have read. Today, that book is Love and Let Die: Beatles, Bond and the British Psyche, by John Higgs. Come join us as we discuss the book, Bond, The Beatles, and a bunch of digressional topics that I can't even remember...
This book is a perfect encapsulation of how British pop culture changed forever with the simultaneous release of "Love Me Do" and "Dr. No" on the same day in 1962. It covers both the wider social trends of the day like art, cultural identity, gender roles, sexuality and masculinity, whilst also telling the stories of the Beatles and Bond in their own right!
I wholeheartedly recommend Love and Let Die: Beatles, Bond and the British Psyche and you can find it in all good book shops, both online and on the high street.
Please enjoy. Peace and love,
Sam

Monday Nov 07, 2022
Wait part 4? Yes, that is right everyone, we aren't quite finished with this album yet, and to help me put it to bed once and for all, I am joined by the supremely entertaining T.J. Shanoff.
T.J. is a cohost of my favourite Beatles podcast, aka The Untitled Beatles Podcast, and I knew I had to have him on based on his VERY strong views on Driving Rain.
Please enjoy. Peace and love,
Sam
