🍰 This Week: The Prince who lived with Paul McCartney

“ Paul McCartney rang up and said I'm sending a car and a driver to pick you up. If they want to arrest you, they'll have to take me as well." — Prince Stash de Rola

This one's a genuine departure for us. Prince Stash de Rola - friend of the Rolling Stones, friend of Pink Floyd, one-time housemate of Paul McCartney - talked to us about fame, identity and what actually holds up when the world around you is chaos. It's part one of two, and it's every bit as mad as it sounds.

What we get into in this episode:

• The arrest that made front page news and the phone call from Paul McCartney that followed.
• Vince Taylor's public breakdown, and what it taught Stash about "the razor's edge between madness and Satori."
• Life inside the Beatles' inner circle ... psychedelic Rolls-Royces and all.
• Why he might be the first person to have ever worn glitter on his face.

📌 This week's gentle challenge

Part two drops next Tuesday, and it goes somewhere completely different ... psychedelics, Timothy Leary, and why Stash thinks your phone is quietly wrecking your attention. Put a reminder in your calendar now so you don't miss it.
