Riverside.FM is proud (neither legally nor officially) to present (allegedly) Chuck Swirsky and The Untitled Beatles Podcast! Brought to you (someday?) by Westmont’s incredible Blue Village Vinyl.
And when not spending gobs of sweet improv cash in Chicagoland’s many fine vinyl establishments, you can often find the UBP Two doing the next best thing: seeing Ringo Starr And His Approximately Infinite All Starr Band, live in Chicago!
Every “real” Beatles fan is aware that the Chicago Theater’s most famous moment was when Donny Osmond pranced the stage nightly in a coat of many colors back in 1995. (Trivia: That’s what killed a ton of old people that summer. #HeGone) But not anymore. Because Ringo Starr in 2025 has never sounded better, supported by a loyal, accomplished band who still rocks hard. Sometimes, for too long!
So join Tony, T.J., Ringo, some true all-stars, a replacement player (e.g. “scab”) or two, and a few great UBP listeners, for some spirited/spirits-filled conversation, and highly illegal concert audio that can rather easily be traced back to the phone on which it was recorded. LOL! So in the interest of free speech, and praying our billion dollar merger with Sinstar Media goes through, let’s ignore dumb legalities/norms and instead misdirect with inane questions, like:
💨🔥 Is the original “gaslighting” when Aerosmith released the exact same #1 song 17 times in the 90’s?
🍏🤑 Do people with CDS (Calderstone Derangement Syndrome) know they’re actually in a cult, cruelly brainwashed by Big Apple?
✂🎂 Would the Average White Band have been more successful if they’d stopped being so damn bossy all the time?
