1973 was a banner year for classic rock LPs. But from "Houses Of The Holy" to "Goats Head Soup", only one album that year rocked the loudest, hottest, and wettest: "Red Rose Speedway".

Ok fine, it's not really a "rock" album. It might not even roll. But that doesn't prevent it from being an inventive and quintessentially Paul (uh, oh yeah, "and Wings") album. On its 50th anniversary, the UBP Living Un-Single pigeons extoll its many charms, in another patented, cliffhanger-laden multi-parter. #HyphenFest

In Part 1 (read: "eye", obviously), they also consider:

🐂 'Round holiday time, would you rather eat moldy old dough alone, or with your Oxfam?

🛼What's the better hard rock record: The Who's "Live At Leeds", or Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Starlight Express" original cast album?

🧤 Trivia Alert: the back cover of "Red Rose Speedway" has a tribute to Stevie Wonder, but do you know which two longtime NBC all-stars Paul honors on the front cover?

Sixth Beatle Bracket Part 2

OK, OK, we got all our April foolishness out of our systems... now back to the VERY SERIOUS BUSINESS at hand. This week T.J., Tony, and Casey pick up right where they left off in their pursuit to crown the undisputed SIXTH BEATLE.

Join as we narrow the field down from our Sweet XVI, see whether any Cinderella stories stretch through the Final IV, and find out:

🍳 What’s Tony’s deal with Mel from Mel’s Diner?

👖 What’s Brian Epstein’s deal with trousers?

🤖🍑 What’s T.J.’s deal with robutts?

To almost quote the great Chicago Bulls play-by-play announcer Chuck Swirsky: This hotly anticipated finale is (glass) ONIONS BABY, ONIONS.

Red Rose Speedway 50th Anniversary Part 2

Hey Weepers! Hey Creepers! Hey Hugga Me Righters! Whether dragonfly or pigeon, we think you're gonna dig part 2 of our Red Rose Speedway deep dish even more than George Leroy Chickashea loves "Ebony and Ivory" (solo version).

Along the way, they take a (Cleveland) Brown Line L train around the Loup, and also discuss:

🍄 Where's the long delayed digital remaster of "Portobello Road: Mushrooms Salute The Beatles"?

🟤 Is Bernie Kosar to Paul what Brian Epstein was to John? And how come Lewishon won't talk about it? What's Apple hiding, exactly?

⚾️ Holy Ann Margaret, Bartman! Paul wrote "Bye Bye Birdie"?!?!?!

We strangely encourage you to buy lots of Bud Light (legit only if you're over 21, tough gal!!) put yer carpet sleepin feet up, and enjoy this week's sumptuous, sunset cruise along the Red Rose Speedway...
