Monday Jan 23, 2023
Part 1 of our discussion with Allan Kozinn, co-author (with Adrian Sinclair) of "The McCartney Legacy: Volume 1, 1969-1973". Some might describe this book as "Everything you wanted to know about Sir Macca, but was afraid to ask", but that would be inaccurate, as Allan has asked plenty of Paul when he got the opportunity to speak with him several times during "the Kozinn era" at the New York Times.

This week we look at the 1965 Granada television special "The Music of Lennon and McCartney". Peter Sellers, Billy J. Kramer, The Beatles and a thingie which is not too terribly fiendish.

What do "Benny and Joon", "Mad Men" and 1976 (the year) have in common? The VH-1 television movie "Two of Us", which featured two of the leads from those projects in a fictionalized version of what happened when John Lennon and Paul McCartney hung out one evening, and Lorne Michaels (on the then new "NBC's Saturday Night") made an offer to four guys - "The Beatles."
