Back in September, I first talked Beatles with this Renaissance man, in the context of The Beatles with The Simpsons. As you listeners will remember, Dave had a lot to say about the Beatles well beyond the parameters of that TV show. Well he’s back, and the subject we set out to discuss was the Beatles’ use of acoustic instruments – something Dave is well-versed in.
But as conversations will, we went far afield from that, covering subjects ranging from sincerity to darkness versus happiness to re-arranging songs on the fly to what the Beatles were doing alongside their contemporaries. And as the momentum mounted, I realized that there were more things discussed than any one show could reasonably contain. So enjoy 129A; 129B coming up (so to speak)!

Brilliant Revolver mashup. Dead. Brilliant.
Totally. Agree. Can someone point me in the direction for the source?

Very enjoyable! Can’t wait for part B!
A great show as ever – for some reason I haven’t listened for a while, so I have some catching up to do.
Do I get any Beatle points for spotting the “an early clue to the new direction” quote from a Hard Day’s Night? It’s such a quotable film, who can blame you?!
