Fine Tuning: Ep 3 Creative Whirlwind

SYNOPSIS: In Creative Whirlwind, we take a look at how Tune In reports and characterizes young Lennon and McCartney as budding artists.   We’ll show that Tune In significantly downplays and shortchanges (and sometimes even ignores) crucial aspects of McCartney's artistic development and identity. On the other hand, Lennon’s creative development is shown from all angles in loving detail and with unbridled admiration.Our discussion will be divided into three major sections: Visual Arts, Literature and Musical Self-Expression.
