The Stupid History Minute - 1 April 2024: Goodbye 


McCartney: A Life In Lyrics - Season 2, Episode 7: A Day in the Life [an experience Paul had as a kid with a live radio shows usually with a comedian. Paul’s psychedelic piano. John would come into Paul’s writing room and starting to play a piece one had been working on. Eleanor Rigby was Paul’s starter that they finished together, A Day In The Life was John’s starter that they both finished together. Paul’s friend Tara Browne died in a car crash. John was a fan of Winston Churchill. Paul listening to the avant garage music of Luciana Berio and Cathy Bevran. Stockhausen and others. Dinner suits and funny noses. Smoking on the upper level of the bus on the way to school. Back in the day I used to be smoking myself, and I used to do this as a school kid as well, unless you run a single deck bus, where you were allowed to smoke at the back of the bus. Yes, how strange! It’s like back in the day, people were allowed to smoke at the back of cinemas and theatres, but not towards the front. How times have changed! Extending your imagination and repertoire, which is what they were doing with the Sergeant Pepper album. Using sound effects and more orchestration. The difference between television/film and hearing plays and shows on the radio. he mentioned about the film version of Sergeant Pepper that was made in the 1970s, which didn’t work. 4000 holes in Blackburn being a synonym for people - assholes. The salt and pepper with Mal Evans story. The album cover. Having a sense of the totality of a project. The uniform and image. The scratchy purple woollen jackets. The Butlins band winners in the checked suits. “A Day In The Life - a full symphony orchestra, no messing about here!”]

McCartney: A Life in Lyrics - Season 2, Episode 8: Hey Jude [Paul’s friend Ian James at a fairground in flecked jackets. Elvis Presley’s song All shook Up made his headache go away. Spring of 1968 saw the marriage between John Lennon and Cynthia Lennon break up, because of John, having an affair with Yoko Ono. Paul was like an uncle to Julian. Hey Jules because that’s what Paul called him. The song starts in one place, and then Paul says it morphs from there into something else. Paul himself was going through a transition at this time, where he had just broken up with Jane Asher, and we’re starting a relationship with Linda, and the Beatles were fractures at this point. “Paul isn’t keen on the idea that to be cool you have to betray yourself.” Ringo walking in from the toilet at the right time. If you listen really carefully you can hear swearing. “The movement you need is on your shoulder.” Always trying to say it’ll be okay. Other musicians who covered the song including Elvis Presley. Intergenerational. The first single from Apple Records.]
