1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,280
Speaker 1: Gold across Australia.

2
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 2: It's Jonesy demanded driving you home for jam Nation on Thursday.

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 3: I like your thoughts on this, Brendan, because I know

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 3: recently you read it took about a year to read.

5
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 3: It was the Ward's thickest book on the Beatlesning.

6
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,240
Speaker 2: In the Beatles was a forensic account of the Beatles,

7
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: going way back to even the parents of the Beatles,

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: before the quarrymen, before any of that.

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 1: How they all got it and they're all game meats.

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,680
Speaker 2: It was just it was it was so forensic, but

11
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: at the same time, you know, there was all these

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: little bits that could have changed the whole music history.

13
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,000
Speaker 3: It's a great thing to read the stories of people

14
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 3: who go on to be perhaps the most famous people

15
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 3: in the world, or to read the beginnings. You think,

16
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 3: little did they know that everyone in the world would

17
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:43,160
Speaker 3: know their an.

18
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,559
Speaker 2: And Ringo Sta, for example, it was looking like he

19
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 2: wouldn't even get past twenty.

20
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: You know when he was he almost he was twelve,

21
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: you know he died. Now look at him, he's like

22
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: a thousand years old. He's dead. He doesn't even know it.

23
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: He looks better than most people age. Still on the kid, Well,

24
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 3: what do you think of this story. Paul McCartney has

25
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: recently said that he took a phone call from Yoko

26
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 3: Ono not long after the tragic death of John Lennon

27
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: and she thought quote that he might have been gay.

28
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: This is what Paul McCartney said. I swear she rang

29
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: me shortly after John died and said, you know, I

30
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 3: think John may have been gay. Paul McCartney himself said,

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: here's known lenin since the age of sixteen and became

32
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: a man with him and he didn't think so what

33
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: happened to me?

34
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: Well, in this book it speaks about the relationship between

35
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,559
Speaker 2: John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and they.

36
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: Said they were almost like a couple.

37
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: That's different.

38
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: But when Paul muccartney was sixteen, John Lennon was nineteen,

39
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 2: George Harrison was fourteen and John Lennon was his art student,

40
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: and the other guys.

41
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 3: Were in answer the question counselor.

42
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: And Peter Sutcliffe, the drammer, he was the Pete best?

43
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: Which one was it? Pete's best?

44
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 3: But that's not answering my question. Did you get a

45
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: sense of this in the book?

46
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: Stuart Sutcliffe? Sorry, yeah, I got gay? You can't handle

47
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: the gay you possibly can.

48
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: I'm just interesting.

49
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if it was gay, probably helped them out,

50
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: probably helped them out when they were busy.

51
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 3: But in those days, they're all taking a lot of drugs,

52
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: they were all experimenting, they were all trying to break

53
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 3: out of their suburban lives. And if you're one of

54
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 3: the most famous people in the world, why wouldn't you

55
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 3: try a bit of everything? And I wonder if John

56
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 3: Lennon is looking down from wherever from heaven and going

57
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 3: shut up, Yoko.

58
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: It was once yah off with a bloke once and

59
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: look your.

60
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: Wife tells Paul McCartney. And when they're in the eighties

61
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 3: they blab to the world.

62
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: Imagine coming up.

63
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 2: I like Thursday because not only is it PID radio station,

64
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 2: but double a chattery drops today.

65
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: It's a charming one today. I'll tell you why next.

66
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: I'm piqued about this that's coming up on Gold
