Ep 310 - John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Joe Walsh, Steppenwolf, Phil Spector, Cool Song Facts

This week: an amazing interview with John Lennon & Yoko Ono from the mid ‘70s. John talks about his rivalry with Paul McCartney, why he recorded “Happy Christmas (War Is Over)” and who REALLY deserved a songwriting credit on “Imagine”.         When Joe Walsh talked to us in 1978, he was not only a very successful solo artist (“Life’s Been Good”) but also a full-fledged member of The Eagles.  Joe talks about why being in a band is so much better than being solo. A very interesting and fun interview.         John Kay told us about the heyday of Steppenwolf when he visited us in 1979.  The stories are crazy.         We also have two clips from producer Phil Spector that are, in a word, bizarre.  One of them is only 10 seconds long – and those ten seconds are weird and chilling.         Finally, Tom presents us with more Cool Song Facts – this time it’s the original names of very famous bands.  From Soft White Underbelly to Naked Toddler.  Trust us, you have to hear these!
