When They Were Boys by Larry Kane All Together Now: A Beatle Podcast

    • Music History

It's safe to say that all Beatles books contain at least a few errors. But not all errors are created equal. In the most recent edition of their "All Together Now" podcast, Karen and Erin will use Larry Kane's "When They Were Boys" to discuss the different 'tiers' of errors authors make, from lazy but inconsequential mistakes to the deliberate misrepresentation of evidence. They will also discuss how crucial an author's understanding of the current state of their subject's historiography is to providing an accurate account, and why secondary works built on memoirs can be problematic. What value does Kane's work hold? Find out in this episode of All Together Now: A Beatles Podcast.
