Behind the Scenes with The Beatles, From the Ultimate Insider Source

from We Are Old, Get Over It!

What a way to kick off our new season!Author Ken Womack, one of the world's foremost experts on The Beatles, joins us to talk about his book, Living the Beatles Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans. Beatles fans will likely know already about Mal, the band's trusted confidant, protector, road manager and more. In a time when the biggest group in the world desperately needed people around them whom they could trust, Mal was that guy.But up until the biography came out, Mal's actual story was largely unknown. He was the quintessential figure in the background. Ken Womack set out to address this, but after the project was already underway, it suddenly escalated to a whole other level thanks to the discovery that Mal's son Gary possessed a box full of notes, diaries, photographs, memorabilia, and even a manuscript that Mal was writing about his life, which sadly was never published before his sudden death. Gary sent over the box, and Ken used his expertise to develop this outstanding book.Join us for the remarkable story of Mal Evans, with incredible stories from his actual biographer, and bring the Beatles back to life - from the Cavern Club to the rooftop of Apple Records. Mal was there for it all.Find Ken Womack's book here:https://kennethwomack.com/books/beatlesbooks/mal-evans-the-biography-archives/---Reach out to the show by visiting our website,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠weareoldpodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and send me your thoughts and suggestions at [email protected].
