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.
