John & Yoko ... a love story
Produced by Blue Trumpet for Eastside Radio 89.7 FM, ‘John & Yoko … a love story’ follows the ruminations of two self-described ‘Beatles tragics’, Ray Rose and James Benn, as they discuss the musical evolution of John Lennon and Paul McCartney during their brief career with the Beatles, with frequent reference to the music and revealing quotes from John and Paul. Throughout, Ray and James ponder the implications of Yoko’s appearance on the 60s’ pop scene and whether it was really she who broke up the Beatles.
Episode 4: There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done
In this episode we hear how Paul takes over after Brian Epstein’s death. And how Paul took them all on a Magical Mystery Tour. Everybody going nowhere in a bus! John writes ‘Love Love Love’, maybe his most loved Beatles’ song. But John also writes something that Paul can never dream of … ‘I am the Walrus’. Quite incredible. Perhaps his best song ever. But Paul also writes one of the greatest hits of all-time … ‘Hey Jude’.
So listen up, and listen in, to … John & Yoko … a love story …
