About this episode
RHLSTP Book Club #171 - John & Paul - A Love Story in Songs - Rich chats to author Ian Leslie about his hit book about Lennon and McCartney. Amongst other things they discuss why no other Beatles book has effectively asked why as well as what and when, whether Lee and Herring were more successful than the Beatles, how this book sends you back to the songs to remind you how truly inspirational and inventive they are, how death seemed to stalk John Lennon and whether Paul died in 1966 and Jane Asher just went along with the replacement (and the more likely hypothesis that there were always loads of Pauls, why Paul said “It’s a drag” when Lennon died, how Lennon and McCartney are similar to Peter Cook and Dudley Moore and much more.
