In her career as a writer and reporter, Laurie Kaye had the opportunity to speak with some of the biggest names in music.

And her biggest interview was on December 8th, 1980. That's when she sat down and talked with John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Only a few short hours after their interview, John was shot and killed outside his apartment, making Laurie's interview his last.

The joy of their time together and the guilt and sadness over his death have stayed with Laurie ever since that terrible day in New York.

Her memoir, Confessions of a Rock n Roll Name Dropper is available for pre-order from Fayetteville Mafia Press and will be available next December.
