The Beatles Stuffology PodcastThe Beatles Stuffology PodcastThe WordIt's time for Andrew and JG to discuss The Word this episode, but what is The Word anyway? Does this song work as a precursor to All You Need Is Love? How convincing does the whole thing sound? As is this where the mythologisation of Lennon as "the love one" really begins?
