Update!

Hi everyone! I wanted to fill you all in on what I've currently got in the works!

I'm sorry its been so long since I've provided some more content. I so dearly appreciate having you guys here!

SO, ANYWAYS, I have been working like a maniac on the "Why The Beatles Broke Up" series. What I thought would be an ambitious 3-4 part series is looking like it is going to be an 8 part series... each part coming to about 40-60 minutes. I probably have another week or so of writing before I begin recording/editing. I really want to have the full scope of the project and story together before I begin making the videos, just to make sure I have everything right and well connected.

So if you can't tell by the size, these videos are not just going to cover 1968-1971, but more like 1946-1971. While my other videos are usually much more focused on the fun stuff, the shenanigans and the music, these will get a whole lot darker. Even at The Beatles peak, so much was going wrong behind the scenes.

You will definitely hear a lot of information you've heard before, but there will be significantly more new information than old. Here's a list of things I'm covering for the first time, or in significantly more detail than ever before.

• The Beatles childhoods, especially John, and their dynamics when they were first getting to know each other

• Lots of Brian Epstein stuff, starting with some of his early business failings, then progressing into his severe mental health decline, drug issues, and eventual death.

• Really, just more on The Beatles being pricks in general, to their partners and to each other. Obviously, I love this group, but part of that love is getting into the grimier stuff

• Far more exploration into interpersonal relationships

• More about Yoko

• The horrible mess that was Apple Corp

• My very first video was on the White Album, and seeing how turbulent and important that stretch of time was, I have basically re-covered the entire period. But this time, rather than focusing on the intricacies of the musical recordings, it is almost solely about the tensions, the resentments, the arguments.

• We will finally cover the Let It Be period, and Allen Klein's introduction. There will be a pretty deep analysis of Get Back (the documentary) talking about what it reveals, and what it chose not to show, or what it edited misleadingly.

• Then of course, the dissolution itself. The full Allen Klein saga, the breakup.

• Finally, the fallout. The legal issues, the end of John and Paul's relationship.

Suffice to say, it is going to be a beast! You'll get a tasting of all of The Beatles eras, and a look behind the scenes, into the topics that are rarely discussed.

After that, we'll probably pick back up with the Making of A Hard Day's Night, back into the more traditional format.

much love,

Dakota
