In this episode, we go back into the lab to talk about two "Yoko" songs by John Lennon: "Oh Yoko" from 1971's Imagine and "Dear Yoko" from 1980's Double Fantasy. As usual, we discuss the lyrics, the context, the music, and cover versions. Which song do we like better? Which one works better in context on their respective albums? Are there any interesting cover versions of such personal songs?

We also catch you up on some more news (Recorded 4/19/25).

Apart from Yoko Ono, probably no other figure in the Beatles story is as divisive and hated as much as Allen Klein. Klein was brought into clean up the business disaster that was Apple, and to get a better contract and more money for the Beatles. After his work with Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, and others, the Beatles gave Klein a chance to improve their finances in 1969-70, with agreements that lasted for the next several years. In this episode, we dig into the background of Allen Klein, his rise to prominence, his work with The Rolling Stones, and of course shine an extensive light on his rise and fall with the Beatles as a group and as solo artists. Is he really the villain we've been led to believe he was? Or did he do some good things for the group? Listen and find out!
