Few professional scribes received access to The
Beatles like Ray Connolly. As a journalist with the Evening
Standard, he found himself in the right place at the right
time to cover the group during their final years. (It was to him
that John confided that he'd quit the group; it was to Ray that
Paul divulged: "I didn't leave the Beatles - The Beatles left the
Beatles.")
He later scripted the films That'll Be The Day and
Stardust; he also wrote radio plays and biographies.
In 2018, he published Being John Lennon: A Restless Life.
His e-book, The Ray Connolly Beatles Archive is
essential.
We discuss John as he knew him, abetted by Lennon
biographer Jude
Kessler.
Hosted by award-winning author Robert Rodriguez, Something About The Beatles is an intelligent but entertaining examination of The Beatles' music and career. Smart, funny and surprising - just like the Fab Four.
