Things We Said Today

In Episode 409 of Things We Said Today, Darren Devivo, Ken Michaels and Allan Kozinn have a chat with Dana Klosner about her book “Beatlemania Lives On - Superfans in the 21st Century,” a fun read about the current state of Beatle fandom, based on interviews with everyone from Peter Asher and Laurence Juber to fans who have turned their onstage autographs into tattoos, with authors, DJs (Darren was among her interviewees) and Beatles tribute band musicians. For those who prefer to liten selectively, the news section begins at 3’00” and the interview with Dana starts at 26’30”.

I just signed up and got the card. I tried to share it on Facebook and got the error message that others have reported the content as abusive! Crazy! 😎

Weird to release a song in April called February Sky.

Re. the banning of Nutopia from Facebook. Peace isn't a political stance which interests of the US or the UK, and so by extension Facebook. War is a very, very big business, and anything likely to threaten that in any small way has to be snuffed out.

My experience was that Beatles was a radio staple and albums in every collection, but i felt like an oddball being Beatles obsessed. Rock and and disco were what's cool. Van Halen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Kiss, Bee Gees, etc.

So happy to have grown up (well… to the degree that I did) before that era.

@@allankozinn192 So happy to have grown up in the 70's, while deeply appreciating the 60's!

[@509cougs]

Either way--60s or 70s-- was a great time to grow up. Though it would have been cool to experience Beatlemania first hand, we had the music too, and more. Our music was all played by bands playing together, no one was watching every move we made, and we were largely oblivious to all the serial killers out there, trying to spoil our hitch-hiking.
