This is a great podcast! Glad I stumbled upon it! Very interesting conversation between the three of you. I missed the toast at John’s birthday party tonight but found this! Thank you Girl! I really really appreciate all you do, Jude. Hope you had a fab time at John’s birthday party. Cheers to John Lennon🥂
Jude's books changed the way I think about John. When I think about the early Beatles albums, it's John's songs that are my favorites. Every time I see an interview with her I have a deeper appreciation for those early John songs where he shares so much especially on Beatles for Sale.
Ken makes a very good point I'd never thought of. "We weren't going to America till we had a number one," is always portrayed as the whole thing, but it makes sense that they'd only TOUR off the back of a number one. How galling it would have been for them to do Ed Sullivan, then go and play a string of disheartening dates in empty theatres and auditoriums across the States. Unfortunately, as much as I like hearing Jude speak, her ideas about almost every song John wrote and sang being about Julia stretches credibility. Also, being English and with an ear for accents and voices, Scott's Beatles' impressions aren't very good.
The voices sound like copies of the picks in YELLOW SUBMARINE, nothing like the real Beatles voices. So in my opinion the accuracy for the present voices is misplaced. Sorry guys, objectivity is the order of the day, pretending that the authenticity is accurate is being silly! It's the voices from YELLOW SUBMARINE being emulated!
Scott seems to be under the impression that the Beatles were 2 dimensional cartoon characters... there should probably be a rule that only British & Irish people attempt Beatles impersonations...
I met both Jude, and Scott at this years Beatlesfest. Both were incredible to talk to, and of course, very kind.
Quite possibly your best ever podcast 👍💜

Jude is amazing would have her once a month man I wish she did books on Paul her detail is great
Of all the people I ‘ve heard who had documented the Beatles’ many stories , aside from Mark Lewisohn , Jude Kessler is far and away the best
She nailed Paul he wanted to be a Star while the other s just got burned out. Paul is still like that today always pleasing
You just did!
