Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Series.

 

Our guest today is author, historian, Smithsonian Associate Ken Womack. Ken Womack is a fan favorite on the show and has been on the show often. Kenneth Womack is one of the world’s foremost writers and thinkers about the Beatles. In addition to such titles as Long and Winding Roads: The Evolving Artistry of the Beatles (2007), the Cambridge Companion to the Beatles (2009), and The Beatles Encyclopedia: Everything Fab Four (2014), he is the author of the brand new book, All Things Must Pass Away: Harrison and Clapton and other Assorted Love Songs.
