Right, after a very serious and educational episode, it is now time to begin a two-part conversation between me and ma boi, Dylan Sevey. As you might expect, this is a song-by-song affair with a healthy amount of digressions.  I also cannot stress how funny the stuff I had to cut was, and I urge you to check out the full, uncut episode on our Patreon page.  Please enjoy.

I'm not saying I started this podcast more than half a decade ago to specificially as an excuse talk about this concert...but it was certainly a leading factor! In this part one we will be going through all the backstory, personal and trivia behind the incomparably titanic tribute concert that was held in George Harrison's honour in 2002. The concert, rather aptly, was called The Concert For Georg...

The system goes on-line August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th.

So Skylar is basically the young, hip person who goes to all the cool Beatle events (that I cannot attend), whom I shamelessly live through, and whose perspective I exploit for content.  Thankfully she was kind enough to walk me through two awesome events in recent Beatledom, those being The Music of Paul McCartney charity concert and The Fest for Beatle Fans, 2023. Please enjoy. Peace and love, S...
