Kenneth Womack - author of 12 Beatles books - dives “back through the looking glass” 

i remember when Cousin Brucie announced when a new song was going to be released, it was Strawberry Fields, and were in a car going home from high school, we had to pull over and listen, it was like going thru a membrane into something other

i doubt there will ever be another group like the Beatles, their influence still resounds almost 70 years later, in many spheres of social and musical arenas

What a blessing to have (or have had in my case) a father or a close family member to help boosting our initial interest in The Beatles! My dear, much missed uncle Lino went about and also bought 2 or 3 Beatles books and actually all the "Odeon Pops" albums available at the time in my country (in late 1969) thus changing my life forever, for the absolute best! My user picture is me adoringly staring at Help!, March 1970. I distinctively remember Lino telling me a few months later "I'm sorry but apparently they"re no longer together". Wow massive blow 😅😅. I was already an avid fan and haven't stopped for a second in 54 years 🤩 And indeed I "need" them more than ever these days. Thank you for the video!

Anonther great episode....🎼🎼

Beatles Class? I suppose the way a 'Boy band' who had such a large influence on popular culture is worthy of a few seminars.

NEW BOOK *'LIVING THE BEATLES LEGEND-THE MAL EVANS STORY'* by Ken Womack (I speak spanish) Please ask to Ken Womak if he'll make his book version in spanish

Hunter Dav Ees , NOT Davis..

Several publishing and beatle insiders are reporting Kenny Womack has been approached by crowne to finish mark Lewisohn extensive Beatles biography Lewisohn has refused to set up any kind of reasonable deadlines or productive outlines lesson learned publishing companies did not like authors to have no outlines or committed timeframes. Sadly Kenny Womack is not even in Lewisohn as league as a researcher or writer and beatle fans will be poorer for it. A simple assessment would be that Lewisohn is the Beatles and Womack is Gerry and the pacemakers and after reading his insipid and poorly researched John Lennon 1980 biography closer to Gary Lewis and the playboys or Dave Clark five. Lewisohn believes that The idea of mal evans papers with such a mediocre researcher and writer is an atrocity of biblical proportions that makes him and beatle experts physically Ill

you need to do a lot more than write 'The Beatles'are great!' to garner my interest, the best book on The Beatles for my money is still Ian MacDonald's 'Revolution in the Head' why? Because it places The Beatles in the context of everything happening in the 60's, The Beatles weren't creating in a vacuum, they were responding and interpreting everything happening around them. It's become such a bore to hear how great The Beatles were when they were part of a contemporary post war explosion of creativity and commerce, their records are not more interesting than those of the Stones, Dylan, Hendrix, Beach Boys, Donovan, The Kinks, The Who, Pink Floyd, Small Faces, Velvet Underground etc etc etc The difference seems to really be the fact that all the great artists of the 60's were selling to an audience of teenagers and young adults while The Beatles had everybody from children to grandparents buying their music... what is so boring about American writers is that they all seem to be obsessed about getting back to some magical childhood place where they first discovered this strange new music that had the effect of imprinting upon a completely blank and open innocent space... the pop cult phenomena of The Beatles has ended up obscuring the incredible creativity of the 60's and generally encouraged a kind of musical ignorance and lack of exploration on their listeners... also hearing the ideological PC insertion of 'the great influence of black music' is incredibly tiresome and will just become another distortion of history as time marches on... wouldn't it be more honest to talk about the influence of say Lonnie Donegan, Buddy Holly and The Everly Brothers in the SAME conversation as Chuck Berry and Little Richard... nothing was created in a vacuum and The Beatles are like the formation of a syncretic rock n roll open to all influences... people obsessed about the colour of peoples skin are the most racist and ideological of all... gimme some truth... Also... what 'Get Back' revealed about the dynamic between The Beatles was that they were all genuinely interested and excited when McCartney had a good musical idea, they were all happy to chip in but it is impossible not to notice except by the most extreme Beatard that when McCartney opines on any non musical matters, on organising a show or whatever that John, George and Ringo have ZERO interest in McCartney's ideas for the group and all find McCartney's attempt to 'lead' them laughable... and that was always true... and 'Let It Be' was always a mediocre album, compared to what the Stones achieved with 'Let It Bleed' and their release of a proper live album 'Get Yer Ya Ya's Out' demonstrating how great a live rock n roll band could sound with modern recording gear in 69...
