Coming up…A story of scorned passion…revenge, and arson. It sounds like a film noir thriller, but it was actually an innocent 2-minute song called Norwegian Wood by a little band called the Beatles! The song was based on a cheating husband (John Lennon) whose finished masterpiece managed to offend one of the most influential artists of the Rock Era and change the landscape of popular music for generations to come. It was from the greatest band ever that some critics then and now called the first boy band bashing them over their first few hits like She Loves You Ya Ya Ya… Well, this was the song that turned them into popular music’s Michaelangelos! They set the course for music and decades later everyone is still trying to match them. There’s only one band that could create such a storm of melodrama. Including Paul McCartney taking some credit and George Harrison’s latter feud with Lennon over a writing credit. Find out all the details NEXT on Professor of Rock.

It’s time for another edition of our series #1 in our hearts. In this show we honor songs that were so unbelievably great, that they should've been #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. But for whatever reason, be it radio play, lack of marketing, or maybe it was just ahead of its time… the song fell short of its top-of-the-chart potential. Today we cover a band that actually has the record for the most #1 hits in the history of the chart… But there were a few songs of theirs that deserved the #1 spot that didn’t get close and today’s song changed everything. Let’s get into it.
Beatlemania exploded in 1963 with a series of addicting pop ditties like “Love Me Do,” “Please Please Me” And the auditory missile that was the first Beatles single to shoot to #1 in America: “I Want To Hold Your Hand:” As smoking hot as the Beatles were from ’62 to ’65 because of all those 45 RPM classics, I believe that the legacy of the Fab Four would have been much different if it were not for the transformation of Lennon & McCartney’s songwriting into much deeper, and sometimes darker material that were recorded with innovative, mind-altering production, and bold artistic expression. That moved music to levels that those who came before had NEVER even Dreamed of. With their 6th studio album, Rubber Soul, the Beatles created a whole new sub-genre that became the cutting edge of album rock.
The always affable Ringo Starr called Rubber Soul the Beatles' “departure record.” The album was written & recorded during a period when the 4 members were breaking boundaries in all areas of their lives, including the heavy use of marijuana, which greatly influenced their music.
