Deep dives

The Genesis of Now and Then

Now and Then is a Beatles song that was abandoned in the 90s but recently completed using AI technology. The song was on a tape given to Paul McCartney by Yoko Ono after John Lennon's death. Paul always wanted to finish it, but it was vetoed by George Harrison. It has special significance for Paul because the last words John ever said to him were 'think about me every now and then.' AI technology was used to isolate John's vocals and restore the song.

A listener left a comment on my website asking for my thoughts on the new Beatles song which was released last week, and I was happy to ramble about it for 45 mins. Listen to hear me give my thoughts and tell several stories related to what is being described as the last Beatles song.

I talk for about 10 minutes about burning down my apartment, and my thoughts on the content I make for this podcast and then start talking about The Beatles until the end of the episode. To skip straight to the Beatles bit, go forward to about 12 minutes.
