Refreshing perspective on a sad tale

“Such a refreshing perspective on this period of musical history — which seems impossible given the hundreds and hundreds of books written on the topic, and yet somehow it is true. So many authors bend over backwards and twist in every direction to find convoluted explanations for John’s actions that fit into the pre-prescribed narrative of “He was disinterested in the band (and Paul), and only had eyes for Yoko and #Peace,” even though they largely don’t make any sense in that context — and all it would take is to look even a centimeter under the surface to find the much simpler and human explanation for the actual emotional motivations that drove The Beatles, and the Lennon/McCartney partnership, into the ground.
The Beatles ending has always been a sad story, but somehow the even more devastating undercurrent of it has been largely ignored for over 50 years—so I am glad to have such a thoughtful and emotionally-cognizant deep dive available that gives attention to what, in the end, boils down to a tragic mismatch in wants and needs between two people who had great love for each other.”

The only downside is the constant praise of McCartney as the only...”Read full review »

“One of the better Beatles podcasts. The hosts provide an important and different perspective on the break-up. They make the occasional factual gaffe, but their skills at inter-personal interpretation are fantastic. Like most Beatles media, Lennon and McCartney are overemphasized. It’s not just...”Read full review »
