This special episode is, in effect, a part two of episode 308 (The Politics of Beatles), again with Candy Leonard, as an examination of the decision made by Universal Music Group (with the tacit approval – if not agreement – of the Lennon estate) to reissue the 1972 John and Yoko album, Some Time In New York City, as a background component of the Power To The People set, showcasing the pair of One To One concerts and removing the lead off track, “Woman is the Nigger of the World” from both the parent album AND the concerts.

We discuss the possible reasoning behind this call and whether this is one statue that needed to be torn down or not.
