Ep. 235 | The Beatles at White Sox Park (1965) with Fred Ciba!
F**k’d up world, ain’t it Untitled Beatle People? Like all rational weirdos, we’re fed up with the fascism that (as of this writing) has removed Jimmy Kimmel from the airwaves. We stand with a fellow comic and avowed Beatles/Letterman stan, and against both censorship and emotionally crippled, diabolical jag bags.
Fortunately… we have the perfect antidote to the state of the world, as we go back through the mists of time (cue “The Long & Winding Road” from “Tripping The Live Fantastic”)…to a time they call the 60’s (…more magic piano blues noodling…) and welcome a die-hard, O.G. Beatles fan and Chicago legend, “Beatle” Fred Ciba!
From being at the Beatles historic Chicago shows to shopping at the Apple Boutique and visiting the original Cavern Club, Fred experienced it all, in real time. Join us as Fred provides a fascinating glimpse into the exhilaration of Beatlemania, as heard on Chicago’s bygone, legendary rock radio stations like WLS, WIND, and WCFL.
Fred also puts up with a fair amount of unnecessary, and, arguably, outright disrespectful nonsense from T.J. (YA SHOCKED?) as the Gab Two also ask:
🦶 Will the standalone vinyl of “Anthology 4” feature “Now & Then” (Dave Clark Remix)?
🚘 (Angry Chicago Guy, he’s wearing a fake LaMarr Hoyt jersey): How come the Herbie Hancock building ain’t named after no talking car no more? And how come I ain’t never met no other white guy named LaMarr?
🪁 UBP JOKE WORKSHOP ALERT: If a bunch of jerks listen to The Cyrkle, does that make them (wait for it) The JerkCyrkles?
