Rare & Scratchy Rock 'N Roll_177
<p><strong>R&SRNR_ 177 – "THE LAST SHOW"*</strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Welcome to the final edition of our little podcast series. Yes, it's true. After nearly eight years of episodes downloaded by a loyal worldwide audience numbering hundreds of thousands – plus critical acclaim as one of the highest quality oldies and music history programs in cyberspace, we think now is the right time to take our creativity in new directions. More about that during this prrogram.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Our bittersweet so-long will be light on our personal nostalgia and heavy on the types of tunes and tales about the music that you've come to expect from us. For instance, the only Elvis Presley hit single on which he didn't sing a single note. And a song that embarrassed its performers, but topped the charts and then was adopted a few years later by a major league baseball team as its cheerleading anthem.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">They're all part of the "goodbye" songs we've gathered for this occasion – along with more of the greatest rock and roll stories on record. Hear it all here.</span></p> <p>*Note: All of our nearly 180 shows will remain online and available for downloads through November 2023.</p>

Rare & Scratchy Rock 'N Roll_176
<p><strong>R&SRNR_176 – "THE TRADE SECRETS OF LENNON & MCCARTNEY"</strong></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">Although they only collaborated for about twelve years beginning in late 1957, <strong>John Lennon</strong> and <strong>Paul McCartney</strong> rank as one of the most successful songwriting duos of all time. Our best guestimate is that approximately one billion copies of their compositions have been sold as of the posting date of this podcast. This includes around 600 million or more of those waxed by the <strong>Beatles</strong> with the remainder recorded by countless other performers<span style= "color: red;">.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">That extraordinary success wasn't the result of an ordinary composing partnership. Behind the scenes, <strong>John Lennon</strong> and <strong>Paul McCartney</strong> were often on different emotional plateaus when they penned these tunes. And as you will hear, their opposite moods frequently played out musically. Our resident Rockologist, <strong>Ken Deutsch</strong>, and <strong>Radio Dave</strong> will reveal some of the <strong>Lennon & McCartney</strong> trade secrets – with a lot of help from noted <strong>Beatles</strong> historian and National Public Radio music commentator, <strong>Tim</strong> <strong>Riley</strong> – who's our guest expert for this episode.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">It's "The Trade Secrets Of Lennon & McCartney" – along with more of the greatest rock and roll stories on record. Here it all here.</span></p> <p> </p>
