**Allan Kozinn** was a music critic and culture reporter for the New York Times from 1977 to 2014, where he wrote principally about classical music. In that capacity, he interviewed Paul McCartney several times, and saw him perform in a great variety of configurations and venues ? from singing with a hand mic at the Lonestar Roadhouse, playing rock oldies at the Cavern, in Liverpool, and performing in small halls like the Ed Sullivan Theater and the Highline Ballroom, to full-scale concerts at Madison Square Garden and Yankee Stadium. He currently contributes regularly to the _Wall Street Journal_ , the _Washington Post_ and other publications. He has taught courses at the Juilliard School and New York University (including a course on the Beatles at the latter), and has written seven books, among them _The Beatles_ _? From The Cavern To The Rooftop_(1995), _Got That Something! How The Beatles' 'I Want To Hold Your_ _Hand' Changed Everything_(2013), _The New York Times Essential Guide ? Classical Music_(2004).
