MorrisHOST
I was listening earlier on in the week as I do music.
MorrisHOST
three times a week or whatever to the Word In Your Ear podcast with David Hepworth and Mark Allen.
MorrisHOST
I can't remember which one of them.
MorrisHOST
I think it was actually Mark Allen was talking about some band or maybe he was talking about rock and roll musicians in general.
Christian WrightGUEST
Yeah, for sure.
Christian WrightGUEST
There's an amazing book by David Hepworth about Abbey Road.
Christian WrightGUEST
It's a bit tragic.
Christian WrightGUEST
I'm going home and reading about Abbey Road whilst being there for 27 years.

I was listening earlier on in the week, as I do three times a week or whatever, to the Word in Your Ear podcast with David Hepworth and Mark Ellen.
MauriceHOST
And I can't remember which one of them...
MauriceHOST
I think it was actually Mark Ellen was talking about some band, uh, or maybe he was talking about rock and roll musicians in general and said that they all end up in arrested development because they go from playing in a garage, just making music amongst a bunch of friends at teenage years.

Miles MendozaGUEST
So I was the assistant producer on the session they did for the afternoon programme.
Miles MendozaGUEST
And I also helped out with David Hepworth's Sunday show.
Miles MendozaGUEST
And he did an hour with them sort of kind of tracing their songwriting journey, really.
Miles MendozaGUEST
And I helped out with the sound balance for the show that Neil and Tim did together at that time.

David HepworthHOST
And so my darling, while your arms are out of reach ...
David HepworthHOST
I can't remember the fourth bit of thing.
Mark EllenHOST
That's brilliant, Dave.
Mark EllenHOST
You can remember that.
Stinky PeteHOST
because I was only 10.
Stinky PeteHOST
But 1971 was the greatest year in music, according to pretty well everybody, including David Hepworth, who wrote a massive book on the subject.
Stinky PeteHOST
Well, I suspect that at least one of these
Jazzy JeffHOST
won't be entering the, what's the word, eons of that greatest music, whatever.
JoshHOST

Mark DempseyGUEST
