About this listen
In this Beatles podcast, we are joined by bass player Erik McIntyre to discuss the B-side of the Help! single. Written on the back of a telegram, this song was conjured up as a replacement for Little Richard's Long Tall Sally in The Beatles' set list. In the conversation, we dive into the history of the song and, with Erik's help, explore why this song was necessary in the Beatles catalog at this exact moment.
We cover:
-Decoding Paul McCartney's bass lines
-The protest song Eve of Destruction and its role in the Beatles' songwriting
-The legedary recording session that produced this song
-The politics of being in a band and the importance of keeping it fun
