Description
Just in time for our big 150th episode and third anniversary of TCBCast, we're thrilled to have Antony Rotunno, from the podcast Glass Onion: On John Lennon, join us for our first-ever big two-part discussion about Elvis and The Beatles. We cover a lot of ground in this first half, from the Quarrymen's Elvis-inspired demo, to Elvis' sole attempt at serious songwriting, and the Beatles' open desire as fans to see Elvis return to his rock roots. There's plenty of comparisons between performing styles, the wide variety of genres both took influence from, how fame impacted them, and even differences between Elvis & Beatles tribute acts. Also this episode: Chapter 7 of our TCBCast Book Club look at "Elvis: What Happened?" and Justin's impressions of the Regina King-directed "One Night in Miami," which features Sam Cooke as a prominent protagonist. Next week, we'll wrap up this topic with Antony by looking more closely into Brian Epstein's vs Colonel Parker's management styles, delving into respective filmographies, and of course, the Beatles songs Elvis did, and vice versa. Fun fact: Song of the Week next week will feature the 250th Elvis Presley song we've covered on TCBCast!
