Maybe–but the speculation is happening anyway–it’s unavoidable. It is easy a few millions in the long run (over ten years) My financial instinct suggest $ 200.000,- per year is needed to raise the level of research to what would make all of us very very happy. He doesn’t have a supporting staff, and that’s what he might need.

Well Michael, I suggest to kickstart your kickstarter because quite a few times Mark Lewisohn has explained that the research needed for the level of quality he aims for is very hard to achieve on his own. They’ve stopped, and that’s good.Ībout Kickstarter. The best thing both Conan and Lewisohn concluded was that the Beatles started to separate the moment they got together, because of their curious personalities – and of course the stopped at their best moment,: they wanted to stop, ok, McCartney didn’t want to stop, and other configurations would have been possible.

He’s in a sweet spot - the Beatles story is pretty much concluded, but many of the most important sources are still alive. If his three-book advance runs out before he’s done, I’ll run a Kickstarter to get it finished. Said it before, I’ll say it again: we all owe Mark Lewisohn a tremendous debt. Particularly the documents tell a radically different story.” And it’s shown, because I found so many people who’d never been a book before, who tell completely different stories. I always felt this was a subject that would merit much deeper research. And in that time, they’ll do six to nine months of research, six to nine months of interviews, and then they’ll write. “Most of the books you have read, upon which you base your knowledge,” Lewisohn begins, “in terms of biography they only skim the surface. Comedy legend (and serious Beatle fan) Conan O’Brien has just interviewed Beatle legend (and serious Beatle fan) Mark Lewisohn on his chat show “Serious Jibber-Jabber.” It’s well worth a listen.
