Strange Bedfellows: Ep 4 A Real Story About Real Human Beings

SUMMARY Welcome to STRANGE BEDFELLOWS, an AKOM series about Yoko Ono and Paul McCartney after John Lennon's death. Episode Three covers the 1990s, a decade that sees some of the most significant highs and lows between Ono and McCartney. Goodwill abounds when Paul inducts John into the Rock Hall in 1994. Building on this positivity, Yoko earns Paul’s gratitude during the making of the Beatles Anthology.  But the peace is short-lived, and a set of seemingly minor squabbles escalate into their most vicious public arguments to date, setting the stage for a cold war as Yoko and Paul enter the new millenium.    SOURCES John Lennon Rock Hall Induction (1994) The Sunday Times Supplement (Jan 22, 1967) Many Years From Now by Barry Miles (1997) Paul McCartney Interview w/ Chrissy Hynde (1999) “Yoko Says Snub by McCartney Hurts” Chicago Tribune (June 29, 1998) Mojo (August 1999) MOJO: Paul McCartney – the MOJO interview.

Queering the Beatles: AKOM Talks w/ Caleb Nichols

SUMMARY In the final (2 part) episode of our series, we’ll address the final event in the Breakup drama of April 1970: the battle of Phil Spector’s production of The Long and Winding Road.  We’ll also take an in-depth look at Paul’s revelatory interview in The Evening Standard. Candid, comprehensive and intriguing, this interview is an important piece of history we have dubbed “McCartney Remembers.” We’ll examine some of the recurring issues highlighted by Paul in the interview and address the ultimate question: Could John and Paul Have Turned Things Around?

SUMMARY When John’s attempts to lure Paul back to the fold prove unsuccessful, he orchestrates one final outrageous maneuver. But John’s actions are another miscalculation; Paul responds irately to John’s tactics and further digs in his heels with a combative questionnaire inserted into press copies of his McCartney LP.  Early April shows an escalation in the acrimony between Lennon and McCartney, and by the end of Episode 4, the floodgates are open and the Breakup of the Beatles irreversibly begins.

A Mistake in Many Ways: Ep4 That Makes Two of Us

SUMMARY After the new year, John approaches the Beatles with a new outlook and a new idea for the future. The trial separation, John predicts, “will either be a death or a Rebirth.” And John has made his choice!  Episode Three delves into John’s hopes and fears for the fate of Lennon/McCartney in 1970, and then ties in some pertinent quotes from 1980 which show how he processed and framed the breakup in later years and the philosophical outlook he ultimately achieved.   And of course we continue the unfolding drama of the standoff between the estranged partners in Phase Two of the Trial Separation.

A Mistake in Many Ways: Ep3 Probably a Rebirth

Episode two of our series provides a comprehensive examination of Paul’s state of mind in autumn of 1969. We discuss the deluge of problems he faces and consider how this confluence of issues triggers one of the worst episodes of Paul’s life. How might this depression have impacted Paul’s ability to interpret and respond to John’s continuing attempts to communicate through the media? We dissect four key interviews (and a surprisingly overt personal gesture) from John, identifying and tracking the gradual evolution of his outreach to Paul as the communication gap between the two men grows ever wider and deeper.

A Mistake in Many Ways: Ep2 The Beatles Thing is Over

SUMMARY “I always felt the split was a mistake in many ways.” -John Lennon, 1976. In this series, Phoebe and Daphne will argue that the breakup of the Beatles was an accident, the result of insecurity, hurt feelings and misread signals. Backed by rigorous research, we’ll analyze the events between September 1969 and April 1970 with probity, thoughtfulness and empathy. – Episode One will examine the divorce meeting that triggers the six-month-long standoff between John &amp; Paul. We'll discuss Paul’s reactions, both in the moment and over the following week. We’ll also dissect some striking statements from John in a revealing interview he gives just days after the divorce meeting.

SUMMARY “I always felt the split was a mistake in many ways.” -John Lennon, 1976. In this series, Phoebe and Daphne will argue that the breakup of the Beatles was an accident, the result of insecurity, hurt feelings and misread signals. Backed by rigorous research, we’ll analyze the events between September 1969 and April 1970 with probity, thoughtfulness and empathy. – Episode One will examine the divorce meeting that triggers the six-month-long standoff between John &amp; Paul. We'll discuss Paul’s reactions, both in the moment and over the following week. We’ll also dissect some striking statements from John in a revealing interview he gives just days after the divorce meeting.

From GENIUS COMPOSER to POP LIGHTWEIGHT: How the 1970s Rock Press Rebranded Paul McCartney

Two Apple Scruffs decide to employ their dime store psychology and rank speculation to devote a podcast to defend and promote the reputation and legacy of a man with perhaps the finest reputation and legacy in the history of show business, Paul McCartney. As both a Beatles and McCartney fan, even I have to blush at the hosts’ relentless spinning on every issue in their imagined conflict (from 70s rock rags that no one took seriously?) over who did what and who was “better” in the Lennon/McCartney relationship. It’s like watching Fox News with Paul as Trump. He can do no wrong and everyone else is a blue meanie. Let it Be, ladies.

Spin City

This is the freshest and most-thought provoking Beatle podcast I have ever heard. The hosts are engaging and their opinions well-informed. They constantly cite and compare sources. They painstakingly put together parts of the Beatles puzzle that has always been clouded in mystery and misinformation. Just a brilliant podcast! You may not always agree with their views but you better come with some strong reasons why.

Fantastic!

Another Kind of Mind: A Different Kind of Beatles Podcast

George Harrison

In Part 2 of our deep dive into "How Do You Sleep?", we attempt to dissect George's role in the creation of the song, his perspective on Lennon-McCartney as a unit, and the impact his participation may have had on George's relationships with both John and Paul.

Too Busy being John and Paul: George Harrison's Role in "How Do You Sleep?"

John Lennon alternately referred to the song as “nasty,” “not that serious” and his response to “withdrawing from Paul and the Beatles and the relationship with Paul.” One would be hard-pressed to find a Beatles/Lennon song that has caused more long-term professional and emotional damage than 1971’s How Do You Sleep.   Lennon certainly dishes out the jibes in this rancorous diatribe, but can the song withstand some lampooning in return? In this episode, AKOM takes a harsh look at HDYS. At times analytic, at times sympathetic and at times adopting the same mocking tone as the song itself.    (Do not enter if you can’t stand the heat!)

Miss O'Dell

In this episode, Diana and Thalia have a conversation with Chris O’Dell, the author of the book Miss O’Dell: My Hard Days And Long Nights With The Beatles, The Stones, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton And The Women They Loved. Chris O'Dell has led an extraordinary life as a close friend of the Beatles, Pattie Boyd and Maureen Starkey.   She was an early Apple employee, worked for Peter Asher and was among the world’s first female tour managers.  She worked on many legendary tours, including the iconic 70's tours of Bob Dylan, George Harrison, The Rolling Stones, and Crosby, Stills, Nash &amp; Young.  She was the subject of George Harrison’s song "Miss O’Dell" as well as Leon Russell’s songs "Pisces Apple Lady" and "Hummingbird."  We dig into hot topics like Apple in the early days, the day John quit the Beatles, the Maureen/Ringo/George triangle; Paul in 1968, Paul and Linda as a couple. John Lennon during the "lost weekend," the day Paul quit the Beatles and George's reaction. the Beatles vs. the Stones, and much more.

This episode is dedicated entirely to the one and only Ringo Starr! His musicianship, his chemistry with the other Beatles, and how interesting he is as a human being are often overshadowed in the fandom, but Paul continues into present day to refer to Ringo as "the best drummer in the world," and Dave Grohl calls him, "the king of feel."
