Episode 82: John Lennon’s Jukebox, Pt. 3
A quick refresher: in 1965, at the height of Beatlemania, John Lennon carried around a portable jukebox loaded with 40 carefully chosen 45s. It was his little personal soundtrack: mostly American R&B, soul, and early rock ’n’ roll.
It’s kind of amazing to get a glimpse into John’s musical obsessions at the exact moment The Beatles were taking over the world. And it’s very fun to picture 25-year-old John listening to these records back at the hotel after the shows.
So here’s the exciting conclusion. Look out for the complete playlist on Sunday.
Enjoy!
