#107 "Borrowed Time, Part 1": Writer-director Alan G Parker on his new documentary "Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade"

from Beatles News Briefs · host Steve Marinucci

In the first of two shows on the new documentary "Borrowed Time: Lennon's Last Decade," which debuts in the U.S. Dec. 8, we talk to its writer-director Alan G. Parker, who takes us behind the scenes of the making of the film that includes previously unseen and unheard details of a lavish tour planned by John Lennon and Yoko Ono to promote their "Double Fantasy" album. According to Parker, Lennon said the tour was designed to give Mick Jagger and Elton John "ulcers." We'll also bring you up to speed with some late-breaking Beatles news briefs and share our thoughts on the Anthology Collection, with a special focus on Anthology 4. We hope you enjoy the show! #JohnLennon #Beatles #BorrowedTime     --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can binge listen to all of our episodes free at Podbean, on YouTube or on our Beatles News Briefs blog page.
