Said it before, I’ll say it again: we all owe Mark Lewisohn a tremendous debt. If his three-book advance runs out before he’s done, I’ll run a Kickstarter to get it finished. He’s in a sweet spot - the Beatles story is pretty much concluded, but many of the most important sources are still alive. Now is the time that the history should be codified.Īnyway, go watch it at Team Coco. This is a very good interview, I’ve watched it twice now, sitting in my mountain lodge caught in torrents of rain for a few days. What I really like about an interview like this, that it undermines most fan-phantasies based on nothing but air. The best thing both Conan and Lewisohn concluded was that the Beatles started to separate the moment they got together, because of their curious personalities – and of course the stopped at their best moment,: they wanted to stop, ok, McCartney didn’t want to stop, and other configurations would have been possible. They’ve stopped, and that’s good.Ībout Kickstarter. Well Michael, I suggest to kickstart your kickstarter because quite a few times Mark Lewisohn has explained that the research needed for the level of quality he aims for is very hard to achieve on his own. He doesn’t have a supporting staff, and that’s what he might need. It is easy a few millions in the long run (over ten years) My financial instinct suggest $ 200.000,- per year is needed to raise the level of research to what would make all of us very very happy. Maybe–but the speculation is happening anyway–it’s unavoidable.
