Fine Tuning: Ep 6 A Prolonged Jealousy
SYNOPSIS: In A Prolonged Jealousy, we tackle one of Tune In’s main talking points: that Paul McCartney is a fundamentally jealous person whose obsessive, one-sided jealousy of and over John Lennon was brought to a boil by the presence of Stuart Sutcliffe in the band.
Is Tune In’s unforgiving portrayal of Paul’s jealousy fair? Or is it over the top? We’ll discuss! *This episode was originally posted on Nov 17, 2023 and subsequently re-uploaded on Nov 21, 2023 to add a few minutes of additional information relative to the topic.
