Episode 90- John Lennon In 1962 with David 'Ghosty' Wills (Part 1 of 3)

Our latest Lennon odyssey starts with a review of the events of 1962, a tangential conversation in which Antony and guest David ‘Ghosty’ Wills freewheel into all kinds of other territory before setting the listeners up with some pre-1962 context on the Beatles’ progress on their own journey to musical and cultural world domination. 1962 was marked by a massive historical event, the Cuban Missile Crisis, which happened in the same year as the first appearances in the world of the Beatles’ music and a certain famous undercover spy known to absolutely everyone he meets, and as we often do in this series, we talk about the relative importance of these events in the grand sweep of history Enjoy!   Feedback to [email protected] Support the show at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/antonyrotunno OR https://www.buymeacoffee.com/antonyrotunno Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/glassonionjlpod Twitter handle https://www.twitter.com/OnionLennon Antony's website (music, podcasts, blog, life coaching) https://www.antonyrotunno.com Antony's 'Life And Life Only' podcast (on Psychology) https://www.lifeandlifeonly.podbean.com  Ghosty's you tube channel https://www.youtube.com/@GhostyTMRS/videos   episode links Vasily saves the world! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSrp_P6Bjo Operation Northwoods (please read) https://allthatsinteresting.com/operation-northwoods 1962 in all its glory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1962 Fred Seaman vs Elliot Mintz (and Geraldo) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L6vsM_s8T0U Other interviews with Lennon insiders https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OZnsKtLKiQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwaQUwIsSeI Lenny Bruce at Berkeley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Klrml3tI29E Teach Yourself Paul McCartney (Stevie Riks) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y5n1iuH2H4
