The Beatles were the greatest rock band of all time. And their influence spread far beyond music, influencing the culture and politics of the sixties in a profound way.


In Long and Winding Road, editor Luis Miguel curates the very best writing about the Beatles, from the mysterious death of original Beatle Stuart Sutcliffe to the curious tale of the dentist who is trying to clone John Lennon from a tooth.


This collection brings together writing from all four Beatles, including Paul McCartney's first-person account of an early gig where the Beatles played for Janice the Stripper in a Liverpool club. We also hear from contemporary music critics and fans who were there for some of the most amazing Beatles moments, such as their Ed Sullivan Show appearance.


Long and Winding Road is a must read for Beatles fans, music fans, and anyone curious about how four lads from Liverpool defined the sixties and changed the world.


Featuring writing by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Bill Harry, Dave Bidini, Joe Rodgers, Harry Castleman, Walter J. Podrazik, Ron Oberman, Jason Brown and many more!

George Harrison

George Harrison (1943-2001) joined the band that would become The Beatles in 1958, when he was just 14.

His richly varied solo career as both musician and producer began with the acclaimed album All Things Must Pass and included the landmark Concert for Bangladesh, considered the first fund-raising rock show, as well as collaborations with musicians such as Ravi Shankar and The Traveling Wilburys.

He is also remembered as the producer of such films as Monty Python's Life of Brian and Mona Lisa. George Harrison married Olivia Arias in 1978 and together they have a son, Dhani.

John Lennon

John Lennon (1940-1980) was an English singer, songwriter and peace activist who co-founded the Beatles, the most commercially successful band in the history of popular music.

Jason Brown

Jason Brown grew up in Henderson, North Carolina. He went on to attend the University of North Carolina, where he played both guard and tackle before moving to center. He never missed a game. He was drafted in the fourth round by the Baltimore Ravens in 2005. Brown became a free agent in 2009 and was signed by the St. Louis Rams for $37.5 million, making him the highest-paid center in the league.

He was again a free agent three years later, but rather than signing a new contract, Brown left the NFL and bought a 1,000-acre farm nearly Louisburg, North Carolina. Brown has been farming full-time since 2013, and he gives nearly everything that he grows (mostly sweet potatoes) to the poor. He and his wife, Tay, have been married since 2003 and have eight children.
