We expand upon the last episode's theme and inch closer to writing an IWOL manifesto on the subject of Impress Culture in 2025 vs Pop Music Purity of the Past. We're either on to something or sound like two old men complaining about the world. Either way it's good for a laugh. We also continue our Beatles Anthology preview.

Friend of the pod and Sunset Strip major player Luke Paquin got to jam with one of his heroes last weekend. IWOL got the exclusive.

SUBSCRIBE TO IMPOSSIBLE WAY OF LIFE ON PATREON TO ACCESS FULL EPISODE https://www.patreon.com/animpossiblewayoflife We kind of watch the 1988 Imagine doc and talk more John, Yoko, Beatles etc etc. May not seem like much, but these morning coffee pods are producing some pretty hot takes.

The plot thickens as we sift through the pages of the 1980 John & Yoko Playboy Interview. Is this truly a rock confessional from a music legend returning to the public eye? Or is it a smoke and mirrors show from two marketing savvy gurus on a fresh press tour for their new album? Your rock n roll detectives are here to figure it out.

We continue with our Beatles Anthology Holiday Preview by taking a listen to the newly released "I've Just Seen A Face" (Take 2) and discussing other Beatles/Lord of The Rings related topics.

She's currently out at Johnny's compound recording a new album so she hopped on the pod to chew the fat.

We've always been Beatles adjacent and there's too much Beatlesy stuff on the horizon to ignore. Time to Get Back into Beatles.

Considered one of the greatest IWOL episodes too many times to not add it to the archives. James is back from tour next week and we will have a lot more to say about everything. Thanks for your patience everyone. xo J&J

James is still out in the great Canadian wilderness, channeling the sacred spirits of Gord Downie and Gord Lightfoot while searching for a Rock 'n Roll Heaven on Earth. Turns out maybe it was in Canada all along; Somewhere between Bobcaygeon and the Bloor St. Long & Mcquade. Meanwhile, Johnny is on the west coast building a sun deck out of red cedar and douglas fir, his blue Marvin Gaye toque soaked from the thick mist spitting off the wild Pacific. It's a true Canadian episode everyone.&...

In the midst of a cross Canada Rock n Roll tour for the history books, James takes a minute to record a pod in the Hamilton Ontario green room over some pita bread and local pilsner.

James is on tour at the moment so we thought we'd take a Wednesday off and drop what is known as an IWOL "all timer". It is somewhat relevant though as we have been discussing The Byrds. Even though this episode is called "The Notorious Byrd Brothers" it's really just us trying to figure out who the hell is in The Byrds for an hour. A sweet side note is that my (Johnny) grandfather died the day this was recorded and the hilarity of this episode really lifted my spirits on a very sad day...

James' very own hit making beat combo @yukon Blonde is storming the @impossiblewayoflife airwaves for a full-on Band Takeover episode. As we gear up for our cross-Canada tour, performing our power pop long player, “Friendship & Rock ’n’ Roll,” the whole gang piles into the green room to swap road stories, map out the long drives ahead, and crack open our hopes, fears, and daydreams for the shows to come. It’s the sound of a band in motion, revved up, restless, and ready to roll. Come see ...

Is this the cool side of the strip or is that over where Arthur Lee and Jim Morrison hang out? And how does this all relate to Oasis? We're trying to figure it all out.

'Nuff said, mate.
