Away Game: The Murder of John Lennon: In New York City on the 8th of December, 1980, the world was rocked by the murder of influential rock and roll icon, artist, sometimes controversial activist and dad John Lennon. After an evening recording session at the Record Plant, John Lennon and his wife, artist Yoko Ono returned to their Central Park West apartment building, The Dakota. As John and Yoko approached the entrance to the building, they passed a man for whom, only hours earlier, Lennon had signed an autograph. The man, Mark David Chapman, 25, watched the couple walk by and then pulled a .38 special from his coat and unloaded on John Lennon, shooting him in the back four times. The deadly hollow point bullets tore through the former Beatle, mortally wounding him. He was pronounced dead at Roosevelt Hospital later. When police arrived, they found Chapman patiently reading his book, Catcher in the Rye. by Dark Poutine - True Crime and Dark History

John Lennon (Beatles Pt. 4): Funding Terrorism, Advocating Violence against Police, Provoking the FBI and Pissing off the President: In the early 1970s, John Lennon was suspected of conspiring to disrupt an American political convention and contributing to a paramilitary terrorist organization. Authorities took notice. So much so that the President of the United States took action to have the so-called “smart Beatle” deported. Lennon’s politics were way more violent and revolutionary than simply imagining all the people living life in peace and harmony.To hear all episodes of Disgraceland for free, visit amazon.com/disgraceland.

John Lennon – The Final Interview: Writer and producer Laurie Kaye spent a fateful day with John Lennon and Yoko Ono at the legendary Dakota apartment building on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. Little did she know as she entered the building in December 1980 that not only would it would be John’s last interview, but that Laurie herself would come face-to-face with his killer. Laurie details the amazing afternoon she spent with John and Yoko, the conversation they shared, the laughs and jokes, and the future plans they made before they all left the Dakota together that evening. She chronicles the events that led up to her sit-down with John Lennon, what it was like to meet John and Yoko in person, and the interactions they had with the man who would later assassinate the former Beatle. She explains how she found out Lennon was murdered, what she did in the immediate moments after, and the impact that tragic event has had on her life ever since.
