For Episode 54 (!) The Way-Back Music Machine parks on one day. Sometimes there is one day in rock history where so much happens, a day in the life, as it were (to borrow a phrase).
This week, we stop in Los Angeles on May 16, 1966 for the release of a landmark album. The Beach Boys were influenced by The Beatles and they, in turn, influenced The Beatles. You will more about that and Charles Manson too.
Then we go a few years ahead in time, but still on May 16 for the passing of a film genius. A creator of characters that have lasted decades. What does this have to do with rock and roll, well, as they say you will have to listen to find out.
Finally, it is 2000 and an artist claims his name back. But he lost his name at his own choosing. And he picked a symbol rather than a name. Confused? Listen to The Way-Back Music Machine and we will explain it all.
All that plus charts, cool conversation and our regular 'From Memphis to Merseyside' moment this week on episode 54 of The Way-Back Music Machine!
