188. THE BEATLES’ PETE BEST: THE DISCOGRAFFITI INTERVIEW

Discograffiti is kicking off 2025 with a biggie, our searingly honest interview with the world’s most notorious case of right-place-right-time strike-out. You know him, primarily for what he never got to do.  It’s The Beatles’ Pete Best, who’s had the dubious distinction of having to live his life in the shadow of missed opportunity.   Here’s just a few of the many things Pete and I discuss in this podcast: Details of the exciting announcement around The Casbah Club’s re-opening as an airbnb destination; An exploration of the six possible reasons for Pete’s dismissal from the band that became the biggest cultural force on planet Earth within weeks of his sacking; And an in-depth examination of the survival skills that allowed him to deal with the explosion of Beatlemania.
