Episode description
GGACP celebrates the birthday (b. June 22) of Grammy-winning producer, British Invasion rocker and former Apple Records exec Peter Asher by presenting this ENCORE of an interview from 2017. In this episode, Peter joins the boys for a fascinating discussion about the genius of James Taylor, the profound influence of the Everly Brothers, the rivalry between the Beach Boys and the Fab Four and the 50th anniversary of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” Also, John Lennon meets Yoko Ono, Peter “inspires” Austin Powers, Linda Ronstadt teams with Nelson Riddle and Peter and Gordon play the ’64 World’s Fair. PLUS: Spike Milligan! Del Shannon! Jackie Gleason acts out! Chad & Jeremy meet the Caped Crusaders! And a “rejected” Beatles tune lands Peter at the top of the charts!
