Talk More Talk: A Solo Beatles Videocast

The Lost Weekend proved to be a turning point in John Lennon's life in many ways, particularly musically. Lennonology authors Chip Madinger and Scott Raile join us to discuss the impact the period had on his music and creativity, and how the era changed his sound and composition style going forward.

By the end of the 1970s, Ringo Starr's was a far cry from the success of 1973's "Ringo." After scoring a number of hit singles after that, his winning streak seemed to run out, with albums such as "Ringo the 4th" and "Bad Boy" failing to crack the top 100. What happened? In this episode, we discuss possibilities as to why Ringo's career lost steam as the 70s came to a close.

To celebrate what would have been John Lennon’s 80th birthday, we are pleased to welcome Dave Morrell. Beginning as a teen in the 1970s, he amassed such an impressive collection of Beatles memorabilia that when John Lennon heard about it, he promptly asked to meet him. This would begin a series of meetings where Dave would delight John with rare Beatles footage.   Morrell subsequently worked in promotions for several record labels, including Capitol. He not only got to work on a Lennon project, but on Paul McCartney’s Press to Play. We discuss Dave’s friendship with John as well as his latest book, Run-Out Groove: Inside Capitol's 1980s Hits & Stiffs.
