Ep. 62 | McCartney 3,2,1 (2021) Part 1
Like most Macca productions, this one hasn’t gotten a lot of publicity, but didja hear that all six episodes of "McCartney 3,2,1" recently dropped on Hulu? Legendary music producer/everyone’s favorite uninvited Tittenhurst house guest, Rick Rubin, interviews Sir Paul on some of the most important - and, sometimes, completely random- tracks he ever recorded in his unmatched career. So check your (podcast) machine and get ready for a look at the background of this incredibly satisfying love-fest from M.P.L. and co. It’s a little like Paul’s version of "The Last Dance," though "3,2,1" shamefully omits any interviews with B.J. Armstrong, the 271st Beatle. It’s the film’s one big flaw.
We’ll deep dish on Episodes 2-6 next week; but in this week's show, we’ll tackle Episode 1, plus all the pressing topics real Beatles fans are dying to know, like:
Why does classic rock radio continually ignore the Steely Dan/Led Zeppelin collab?
Does Producer Casey do a killer version of “Crease Lightning”, from the hit RSO motion picture, “Crease”?
And can a kid be a kid at both Showbiz Pizza and Chuck E. Cheese? Or is there regional bias at play?
Be forewarned, spoilers abound, both about "3,2,1" and also Run D.M.C.'s 1988 film "Tougher Than Leather." Please send all angry e-mails, both about this and your life-in general, to Tony, also known as Producer Casey.
