May Pang on John Lennon & Beatles magic

Photographer, jewelry designer and former music executive May Pang joined host Kenneth Womack to talk about falling in love with the music of the Beatles (and her subsequent relationship with one of them) on the latest episode of "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.

Pang, the first of her Chinese family born in America on both her parents' sides, grew up in New York City's Spanish Harlem where she "didn't look like everybody else" in the neighborhood or at school. She laughs when Womack asks if she was raised in a musical household: "No. I don't think so. My father blared traditional Chinese music all the time — but it definitely wasn't my music."
