Great Show, Beatles knowledge is good
I grew up at a really great age, 12, when The Beatles hit. I can play all of their songs on guitar and they were great teachers for song structure, lyrics, and learning guitar by ear. Recently I listened to Mitch solo and his guest was talking about The Beatles solo years and of course, John and Paul were the main subject, with Richy and George on the back burner. I loved John and Paul’s talent but George really surprised me after the split. Lennons voice was waning even then and after Flaming Pie, Paul was not something I’d buy blindly. George however musically and emotionally blossomed. I was surprised at the lack of attention to George. Nothing said about the Traveling Wilburys,( basically George’s idea, his molding of Badfinger, how his sound permeated Badge, and why Badfinger sounded like The Beatles. Badge, ( his work with Eric Clapton, has George’s soundscape, he was shaping a lot of Richy’s solo stuff, his work with Jeff Lynne,( which also started Tom Petty’s collaboration and friendship which brought Petty to Mo Ostin(sp?)). It was George who was the third songwriter in The Beatles and his contribution to the intro to And I Love Her, and countless others. The Let It Be,(whatever) conversation with John and Paul in Abbey Roads canteen about George’s maturation as a songwriter. I may be mistaken but I think George had the last hit with traditional radio, and he was so important to The Beatles. None of this was mentioned. There’s more, but this is running long. Still one of the best Beatles podcasts out there. Mitch did have a lot of great points during the podcast btw, I’m fascinated by the story of this very special band. One more thing, (lol), nothing mentioned about their amazing work ethic, partially due to ego, partially due to Prelly’s, then jazz cigarettes, and finally just plain talent. Favorite album/song? What day is it? Changes all the time. Great work fellas!!!

The thing that sets this show apart from the others is the quality of the hosts. They possess a deep knowledge of all things Beatle, and most importantly, a respect for their guests, each other, and their audience.
