Deep Dish: McCartney (1970)

The first in a series of the Untitled Beatles Podcast’s exploration of the “McCartney” albums kicks off with the cute one’s 1970 solo debut.

TJ and Tony make a case for its greatness and its weakness in the context of other solo Beatle ventures that year while revealing which Breakfast Club members they most identified with.

Also, what if Lady Madonna and The Fool On The Hill had made it?

Meanwhile a random Joe Jackson reference unwittingly unlocks a turbulent used car memory for Tony in the California desert of the 90s, and TJ ponders an incontinent Rocky Raccoon.

It should also be noted that Don Mattingly bats left/throws left.

Q: Is this a Beatles podcast or Gen X pop culture therapy?

A: It's both.
