#209 Her Majesty & #208 Dig It w/ Justin Molaison (singer/songwriter)

Paul McCartney and John Lennon are, inarguably, two of the greatest songwriters of all time. On this episode, we tackle what may be the most inconsequential songs they penned during their time as Beatles. These songs also show the different paths they'd found themselves on in 1969...Paul, able to be fully self-sufficient on his own, creating on whim; John, searching for something while in the throws of addiction, and pulling the band behind him to try and manufacture inspirado.  We're joined this week by New Orleans-based singer/songwriter Justin Molaison. Justin studied music and songwriting at Berklee, where he even took a course built on the study of John Lennon's songwriting. We cover lots of ground in this episode, including Justin growing up with a British mother, Paul digging into his most impish and whimsical, a missed opportunity to use Her Majesty as the theme music to "The Crown," and put out our first soulless grasp at sponsorship. Non-Beatles music in this episode include Chumbawumba - Her Majesty (NOT KIDDING) Justin Molaison - Ain't Loved Like This Before You can find Justin's music at justinmolaisonmusic.com and keep up with him on Facebook.
