  • It’s rock and roll dude.

    Sad that bogus WOKE nonsense seeps into some rock and roll analysis. Come on Gary don’t crater to modern social non-sense. According to your thinking, you would have to get rid of many Beatles, Dylan, Stones and all of AC/DC songs. It’s rock and roll dude.

    Enjoyed the show, thanks.

  • Informative and Entertaining

    Both Gary and Robert really know their deep cuts and the fascinating stories behind them. They validate their opinions with thoughtful conversations, and there’s not a minute that goes by without something interesting.

    I’ve read a lot of books about the Beatles and the Stones, but I always get a fresh perspective with these two … here and on Something About the Beatles.

    Fantastic.
