In Part 1 of our At First Listen / Ken Dashow’s Beatles Revolution crossover episode, our cohost Diamond meets the Beatles!
We explore the complicated history of the Beatles' final two albums – Abbey Road and Let It Be — the fraught relationships within the Beatles by the late-‘60s, the extraordinary cultural impact of the band and how Abbey Road comes across in 2024 to a fan of contemporary pop music, like Diamond.
We also spend A LOT of time on the background of the Beatles and the drama behind the scenes, so look out for the rest of this episode in Part 2!

The Untold Story of The Beatles' Beloved Road Manager Mal Evans
Monmouth University Professor and Beatles author Kenneth Womack returns to 'Beatles Revolution' to talk about his new book 'Living the Beatles' Legend: The Untold Story of Mal Evans.'
Kenneth's new book is a warts-and-all biography of a mainstay of the Beatles' inner circle, a longtime roadie, assistant and devoted friend to the Fab Four, who served and protected the band through its most extraordinary times.
Mal left a stable job in telecommunications to dive into life on the road with the Beatles, leaving his family for months on end. While quickly became a key cog in the band's machine, both on the road and in the studio, details of Mal's life away from the band have always been murky, and the circumstances leading up to his death in 1976 have remained largely unknown, until now.
