Episode 8: Meet the Beatles for Real (or 'With the Beatles')
Update: 2024-07-05
Description
Frank and Gaz go long and deep on the question of who got to meet the Beatles 'for real' in Australasia and beyond. In navigating the sensitive theme of sex and rock 'n' roll, they return to classical roots in the writing of Petronius, Ovid and Apuleius. Informed by these texts and the more recent 'Sex and the Beatles: 400 entries', they ask whether Beatles lyrics from 1963-64 suggest less innocent themes. Are there power games at play? And when John Lennon compared the tour to Satyricon, did he have in mind scopophilia?
