The Imbalanced History of Rock and Roll

Redux, Take 4: The Night John Lennon Died


Listen Later

Yes, next year it will be 45 years...

We can't tell the story any better than this annual repeat episode about one of our favorites, John Lennon:

"John meant the world, to most people, and definitely to all of us. His music, his message, and his fun way of spreading it, attracted so many to him. One wicked soul saw things differently than most. He took John's life on 12/8/80...

Forgiveness is a virtue, but forgive us for being less than virtuous in our disdain for this man. For us, the living, we have found ways to move forward for decades now. This episode can help those who still mourn...

Markus and Ray had two very different evenings on December 8th, 1980. Hear their stories, and a Rock & Roll intersection on that date, and the mournful night after."
