About A Girl

Presenting DISGRACELAND - George Harrison: Surviving the Beatles, the London Drug Squad, and a Home Invasion

We've paired this Disgraceland episode on George Harrison with About A Girl's episode on Patti Boyd. To learn more about Disgraceland, visit disgracelandpod.com [https://www.disgracelandpod.com/]. George Harrison famously survived the dissolution of the Beatles, a bust by London’s drug squad, a potentially bloody visit from the Hell’s Angels, and a few rounds with cancer. But on the final day of the 20th century, his strength and faith were put to the ultimate test. A crazed fan, convinced that the Beatles were evil and George was a sorcerer who had possessed him, broke into George’s Friar Park estate in the dead of night with one goal: to murder George Harrison.

ENCORE - Carolyn Dennis & Bob Dylan

The gospel-fed daughter of one of Ray Charles’s Raelettes had no idea who this Bob Dylan character was when she was called to audition for his band. Within a few years, she would be his wife and mother to his daughter—both of them hidden from the public, as Dylan converted to Christianity and tried to find his identity as a man and as an artist.
