Celebrating Valentine’s Day with Beatles love songs

The Yellow Submarine in a sea of Valentine's hearts

On Valentine’s Day, we talked Yellow Submarine and “All You Need Is Love” on Meagan Paese’s radio show, The History of Rock and Roll.

We shared how Yellow Submarine brings together love, music, and magic. And discussed the film’s message of overcoming your enemy — not by killing or harming them — but by transforming them with love. Our segment starts after the song “Nowhere Man” at 01:20:00.

Meagan’s other guests are Joe Johnson from The Beatle Brunch Radio Show (starts at 00:21:00) and Jerry Hammack, author of The Beatles Recording Reference Manuals (starts at 02:00:00).

Listen to the recording here (link opens in a new tab).

Tune in to The History of Rock and Roll live at www.thehistoryofrockandroll.net.

I purchased and read Inside the Yellow Submarine when first published.  I’m pretty sure I ordered it from Amazon. I also have and read Up Periscope by Al Brodax. I first saw the Yellow Submarine motion picture in a local theater. It was first shown here in January 1969.

Ken Michaels Radio Videocast #52

Thank you to Ken Michaels Radio for a great interview and conversation.

“Dr. Bob is the author of the book Inside The Yellow Submarine (2002,) and with Laura the follow up book It’s All In The Mind: Inside The Yellow Submarine, Vol. 2 (2021).

It’s safe to say that everything you’d ever want to learn about the film you can find in these two books, the most recent of which is meant to give credit to the various creative people behind the scenes who never received the credit they are due, and the massive contributions they brought to this enduring classic.

Learn how chaotic the process was to create this film in a very short period of time, and how it almost didn’t get finished.

The amount of work poured into the research for this film and contacting all the participants is extensive, and something we should be grateful for to keep the true story of how Yellow Submarine was made alive.”
