Summary
On this Beatles podcast episode of The Beatles Note by Note, we start with Honey Don’t and end up in some surprisingly detailed territory. If you like songwriting context, studio specifics, and a few 1964 detours that explain why certain songs stuck, this one is for you. We cover: - Where Honey Don’t came from, and how the Beatles folded it into their live set before giving it to Ringo - The last Beatles for Sale recording session and how quickly they put the track together - A version-by-version compare: Carl Perkins, the Beatles, and John’s Plastic Ono Band jam - Ringo’s 1964 tonsil surgery story and the strange press attention around it - The “Ringo for President” campaign and what it said about youth culture at the time Website: https://www.notebynoteseries.com Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cw/NoteByNoteSeries Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/notebynoteseries Hosted on Acast.
