We conclude our 1967 odyssey by picking up from mid-June and detailing all the main Lennon and Beatles events for the rest of 1967.
The Beatles are linked by satellite to hundreds of millions, they almost buy a Greek island, the Maharishi enters their lives and they make their own TV special just in time for it to be shown in black-and-white among the traditional wholesome Yuletide entertainment.
In between all this, the rather sad life of Brian Epstein comes to an end, John Lennon's first solo film project is unleashed onto the world, and a few more classic Beatlesongs are created.
We hope this deep dive into another incredible year for the Fabs and the world has pleased you. The hippy dream of course didn't quite work but there was truly something in the air in '67 and a communal spirit amidst the turmoil of the Vietnam War and the general madness of a crazy world.
The next Glass Onion episode will be out in a couple of weeks
Enjoy!
