Madness on Trial: John Hinckley Jr. and the Insanity Defense

Episode 11: John Hinckley On Tour!?


Listen Later

"Now it's time to rock and roll!" So said John Hinckley Jr. when he was released from judicial supervision.  And shortly thereafter he announced he was launching his "Redemption Tour." But so far every show he's booked has been cancelled due to a public backlash.

 In this episdoe, the season finale of Madness on Trial, we discuss John Hinckley's (so far unrealized) ambitions to mount a rock tour.  Club owner and booker, Donnie Biggins (The Golden Dagger), and musician  Sid Yiddish,  talks us through how the ethics of booking an artist who, like Hinckley, has a troubled past.  

If you've enjoyed the show, please spread the word and give us a 5 star review. 
Also, we love hearing from listeners.
