Her most vivid memory of that time, though, was being a pre-teen in 1969 when "my mom decided to go cross-country in a VW bus with me, my sister, a pregnant cat and a dog." She explains that "all we had in the back of the bus was a turntable and two speakers. As she tells Womack, "I was totally in love with all of them." Smyth, former lead singer of Scandal (the band behind such '80s hits as "Goodbye to You" and "The Warrior") says the Beatles were "a huge part of my childhood," recalling demanding her mother buy her the "Meet the Beatles!" album when it debuted in the U.S. Acclaimed singer-songwriter Patty Smyth joined host Kenneth Womack to discuss her "very long love affair" with the Beatles and more on " Everything Fab Four," a podcast co-produced by me and Womack (a music scholar who also writes about pop music for Salon) and distributed by Salon.
