We are very happy to have Chip Madinger & Mark Easter back again this year for another deep dive for a Year In Review show. Chip and Mark published the epic Eight Arms To Hold You book in 2000. It is the must own book for fans of the Beatles Solo music. See link below to purchase the 2018 revision on Chip's site. This time we chose 1989. A very productive and busy year for Paul that centered around the release of Flowers In The Dirt. Was it a "comeback"? or just another record? A lot of people like to crap on Flowers these days but we still think it holds up although as you see our guests and hosts don't like every track! Our discussion also focuses on the heavy promotion Paul did at the time. We included 3 segments from various appearances throughout the year and Chip and Mark tell us in detail about the shows they saw on the World Tour that began in September of 1989. These guys are truly the benchmark for this stuff and we are happy to present another episode for you. The history books will note 1989 as a big year for Paul and we agree. Let us know your memories of this period and if you saw any of the concerts! Thanks Chip and Mark! Chip's Site for the book (and his other book "Lennonology")
