'The Boys of Dungeon Lane' Is Paul McCartney's Memoir Jun 11, 2026

Show notes

Ken Dashow and Producer Andrew discuss the ups, downs and cloaked references on Paul McCartney's reflective new album, 'The Boys of Dungeon Lane.'

His first album in years, McCartney has filled the record with references to his youth, his family and his greatest friends. At almost 84, it's hard to interpret Macca's nostalgic turn as anything but an attempt to tie up some of the hanging threads of his life and leave a lasting 'thank you' to everything he's loved about his life.

Remembering Jack Douglas, Legendary Producer for John Lennon, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith & More May 14, 2026

Show notes

We're back in the Beatles Revolution feed today, remembering one of the greatest rock producers ever, Jack Douglas, who sadly passed away Monday (May 11), at age 80.
Douglas not only produced many classic albums by John Lennon, Aerosmith, the Who, Patti Smith and others, he discovered Cheap Trick and kickstarted many other artists' successful music careers.
Fortunately for us, Jack was a generous, kind soul with a great memory and stories for days. Ken's 2019 interview with him was released in two parts. With this episode, we put both parts in one, so you can just let it roll and enjoy Jack at his best: in conversation.
