Nothing Is Real S01E16 - 1980: Part One

There were many revolutionary years in the Beatles’ history, but no one year changed everything as much as 1980. In the first of two parts, Steven and Jason look at the state of affairs of the Beatles at the end of 1979 and how the first half of 1980 played out for John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
Live on tape from Dublin, it’s Nothing Is Real.

My sister who was a fan of he solo Beatles in the 70’s said that around 1979, you hardly heard about John apart from the occasional news report of he and Yoko buying cows in Upstate New York.

Super cool

More misinformation. Ringo had only had 4 top ten hits by 1980. Ringo had 3 #1 hits, all of them in Canada, Photograph being #1 in the UK and Canada, and no #1 in USA. The highest charting single from Ringo in the states was Back off Boogaloo, which hit #2 in the USA.

Getting Closer was also a single off Egg.

Do you think Paul was depicting John Bonham or Ringo on drums in the “Coming Up” video?

[@Keysmanalex]

Mick Fleetwood I reckon

[@garethwaugh1]

Keith Moon surely

John Morgan, drummer in the Wurzels..?
