03/12/21 • 130 min

Diana and Phoebe discuss the infamous September 20th "divorce" meeting where John Lennon declared he wanted a divorce from the Beatles. We examine the various recollections of the meeting from both Lennon and McCartney's perspectives in an effort to understand what actually transpired between them, how they each viewed the meeting, and how they spun the story afterward. We debate whether John's declaration was reactionary, a true cry of emancipation, a strategic move that required a countermove, or even whether this truly was the end of the Beatles. After 10 episodes of backstory, we have arrived at the divorce meeting.

In 1986 Chris Salewicz interviewed Paul McCartney for Q magazine and recorded the conversation for reference. Since then Salewicz's personal recording has made its way to YouTube. This interview is notable because it captures McCartney in a refreshingly open and candid mood, where he was very forthcoming about his thoughts on the Beatles, John Lennon, Yoko Ono, George Harrison, and his treatment in the press. Unfortunately, since the audio was never meant to see the light of day, the audio is substandard and distracting.
Chris and I often reference this interview in episode #15 ("McCartney as Artist: A Conversation with Chris Salewicz) so I have cleaned it up and included it as a companion piece to that episode.

A wide-ranging discussion with British journalist Ray Connolly, who has the distinction of being friendly with both Lennon and McCartney in the 60s and 70s. Ray spent significant time with the Lennons from 1968 until 1980. He is a true insider, someone so deeply involved with the Beatles that he almost is a character in their story. Diana and Ray discuss a number of topics including Lennon/Ono's relationship, The Breakup, Paul and Linda McCartney, The Lost Weekend, and the Lennon/McCartney partnership. Ray is the author of many books including Being John Lennon: A Restless Life, The Ray Connolly Beatles Archive, and Sorry, Boys, You Failed The Audition. Most recently he wrote a radio play called Devoted, about his experience with Covid. DEVOTED: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000td1b https://www.rayconnolly.co.uk/books/ Support the show

03/20/21 • 172 min

This episode marks the beginning of OSD's examination of the period after Lennon's divorce declaration. Diana is joined by Dr. Duncan Driver to analyze the meaning of the song Instant Karma. Could there be more to the song than a surface-level reading? Could it provide more insight into the breakup period? Diana and Duncan make the case that it does. “The two guys as friends, there was never a time when they wouldn’t have fought for the other guy, so, you know, they wrote songs about it, you know John would just write Instant Karma and Paul would write a song back at him. And that’s how they fought. Writing songs at each other.” — Alice Cooper Support the show

In this multi-part series, Diana and Phoebe explore the emotional roots of the Beatles' break-up with a focus on Lennon/McCartney. They use John's and Paul's contemporaneous words and behaviors to challenge the traditional narrative and show how this delicate negotiation for love and security went disastrously awry. In the first installment, they begin their re-examination by tracing the Big Bang of the break-up to 1968. Part 1 focuses on the first half of the year; Part 2 focuses on the second half. This is PART 2.Please check out:Another Kind of Mind Podcast: (https://anotherkindofmind.com/); Twitter: @akompodcast; Phoebe Lorde: @akompod, @[email protected]; Twitter: Diana: @onesweetdreamdi; @dianaakom; [email protected] Support the show

In this episode, Diana talks to Joe Hagan, author of the brilliant Jann Wenner biography Sticky Fingers, and host of Vanity Fair's podcast: Inside The Hive. We discuss Joe's experience writing the biography, his insight into the relationship between Wenner, Ono, and Lennon, and the impact of Wenner's partisanship on the Beatles narrative. We also discuss Joe's newfound appreciation of the early solo works by the individual Beatles — as well as his hot take on Wings. https://www.joehagan.net/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-the-hive-by-vanity-fair/id1232383877 Support the show

In this TWO PART episode, we focus on Paul's McCartney in September 1969. In PART 2 we examine how McCartney has been portrayed in the Beatles story and pressure test this characterization. We do this by considering what may have been going on with Paul at this time — as well as how he may have come across to the others in the band, while also attempting to accurately portray his value and power as an artist at this time.Diana EricksonOnesweetdreampodcast.comEmail: [email protected]: @onesweetdreamdi ---- Phoebe LordeAnotherkindofmind.comTwitter: @akompod or @akompodcast Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/Onesweetdream)
