¡Bienvenidos a un nuevo episodio de La Teoría de la Mente! Hoy nos embarcamos en una profunda reflexión sobre los vínculos afectivos, la desconexión, y nuestra constante búsqueda de amor y pertenencia. Inspirándonos en la conmovedora canción "Mother" de John Lennon, exploramos los lazos que nos unen a nuestras figuras de apego, aquellos que nos trajeron al mundo y que dejan una huella indeleble en nuestra vida emocional. John Lennon nos habla del dolor de la pérdida, de su madre, Julia, y de su padre, Alfred, que lo abandonó en la infancia. A través de su desgarradora experiencia, John Lennon nos invita a reflexionar sobre los vínculos rotos, la infancia y la necesidad de afecto. Este tema nos lleva a una exploración más amplia sobre cómo estas primeras relaciones con nuestros cuidadores influyen en nuestra vida adulta. Hacemos un recorrido por la teoría del apego de John Bowlby, que explica cómo los diferentes tipos de apego —seguro, evitativo, ambivalente y desorganizado— moldean la manera en que nos relacionamos con los demás. Esta teoría, aplicada por expertos como Cindy Hazan y Phillip Shaver a las relaciones amorosas adultas, sigue siendo un marco de referencia clave para comprender nuestros patrones emocionales y conductuales en las relaciones. Además, reflexionamos sobre cómo, en momentos de vulnerabilidad extrema, muchas personas regresan a esos lazos primarios, buscando consuelo en figuras de apego, como lo sugiere el trabajo del psiquiatra Bessel van der Kolk sobre el trauma. A medida que avanza el episodio, me pregunto sobre el sentido de pertenencia y seguridad que quizás todos anhelamos volver a sentir, como cuando estábamos en el útero materno. ¿Podría este deseo ser la raíz de muchas de nuestras frustraciones y ansiedades actuales? Por último, comparto mis propias reflexiones sobre cómo, a medida que envejecemos, nuestras conexiones con nuestros padres y con las generaciones más jóvenes cobran un nuevo significado. Como padre, es inevitable plantearse la complejidad de los vínculos, sin caer en el intento de etiquetar nuestras relaciones bajo una única teoría. Este episodio es una invitación a abrazar la imperfección, a aceptar que los vínculos que formamos pueden evolucionar, y a seguir explorando nuestras conexiones emocionales, buscando siempre ese "wifi" que nos une a los que amamos.

Inspirados en la canción "Mother" de John Lennon, reflexionamos sobre la pérdida, la desconexión y la búsqueda del amor, revisando la teoría del apego y el impacto emocional que tiene en nuestras vidas. ¡No te lo pierdas!

Join us as we continue to look at hell, the afterlife, and Christian Universalism. Our culture loves the idea of no hell and no punishments. From John Lennon's hit song, "Imagine," to Pastor Rob Bell's book, "Love Wins," the seductive, age-old heresy of Christian Universalism has lured the American church in. Christian Universalism's main teaching is through Jesus Christ, salvation will eventually be realized for everyone, not just for a chosen group or believers in this life. For some, hell will be what it takes to accept Jesus. After enough suffering in hell's fires, everyone will eventually give in and believe in Jesus, joining the rest of believers in heaven eternally. This version and idea of hell is heretical and dangerous. Join us in this series as we present a defense of the biblical hell that is grounded deeply in sacred Scripture.
Grab a beer and join us as we pick up in December 1980. We start with Mark David Chapman's second trip to New York, checking into the Y, staking out the Dakota, meeting Jude and Jerry, and getting John Lennon's autograph. Then the shooting at 10:52 p.m., the rush to Roosevelt Hospital, and the arrest at the gate, with Mark sitting with The Catcher in the Rye, telling officers “I acted alone.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Charles and Alex dive into "Pac-Man Fever" hitmakers Buckner & Garcia, listening to deep cuts about Waffle House, Angry Birds, and Saddam Hussein. Plus, Brian Epstein's ghost should have visited John Lennon in 1969 and told him to put the damn suits and moptops back on.

I'm joined by Peter Doggett for this special episode as we look back over his entire career. Peter began writing for Record Collector magazine in 1980 and was also engaged in work for Beatles Monthly, meaning he was soon in the sphere of many Beatle adjacent people. By the late 1990's he had become a renowned author and his books 'The Art and Music of John Lennon' and 'You Never Give Me Your Money' are two of the finest ever written on The Beatles.

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we start our series on Mark David Chapman. Part 1 tracks Mark from a 1955 birth in Fort Worth through a tense home, rocking tics, and the “Little People” fantasy, into a teen slide—drugs, skipping school, a short runaway to Miami—followed by a 1971 born-again turn. We cover his YMCA work (the kids called him “Nemo”), his relationship with Jessica, Covenant College, cheating on his girlfriend and the guilt that sent him into depression, and a failed suicide attempt in Hawaii—where a passing fisherman woke him up. From there we follow the hospital stay, a steadier stretch, meeting and marrying Gloria Abe, and the jobs that didn't stick. By 1980, the debt is paid off but the mood swings get worse. Catcher in the Rye moves to the center, the Little People come back, and his anger at John Lennon grows—burned records, “bigger than Jesus,” and calling out “phonies.” We end with October 1980: the gun purchase, the “John Lennon” signature crossed out on his resignation, and flying to New York.

Martin Porter and David Goggin are the authors of “Buzz Me In: Inside The Record Plant Studios”, which chronicles the history of the famous Record Plant recording studios. This studio was the hit factory of the 1970s, where Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Bruce Springsteen, the Eagles, Prince and many others recorded. In 1976 alone the studio recorded three #1 albums.At the same time the studio was also known for the extreme debauchery which took place there - sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll. They provided all the necessary accoutrements to ensure that the artists stayed there as long as possible, with the studio reaping the hourly fees.My featured song is “Get Out!” from the album PGS 7 by my band Project Grand Slam.

“The average rating of our podcast is too high,” we lamented. “Let's incite a mob of one-star reviews just for covering Yoko Ono!” We giggled, as we rubbed our little hands together like flies.Season 2 of the Dolls Pod is going down screaming, or whatever you call those distinct vocal stylings. The fifth episode of our Beatle Girl miniseries is here, focusing primarily on Yoko Ono's life and art before meeting “JOOOOOHN!” If you hate Yoko, you will hate this episode. If you love Yoko, you will hate this episode. “Oh, Yoko!” is available now, wherever you stream your podcasts
After our journey in part 1 into anxiety and depression, we follow Matt Haig's recovery, as detailed in his fine book ‘Reasons To Stay Alive', and talk about all the great stuff in life, both big and small, with a little help from some of Antony's friends and family -thanks again to all contributors- as he approaches his half century (hence the title). Along the way, we explore regrets of the dying, how a healthy attitude to death can enhance our lives, and those moments of ‘the sublime' that we experience a lot as children but seem to ‘grow out of' as we pass into adulthood. Declutter your soul, travel, take some exercise, express gratitude, stroke an animal, do whatever works… We hope you enjoy the show! If so, please subscribe, like, share etc...

Welcome to our podcast where we discuss and deliberate over memoirs and biographies found in thrift shops. This is a great way to do things as we are not choosing who to read about. We may not be fans of the person, we may never have heard of the person and we never know who we are going to find next...There are only 2 rules to this podcast. The book has to be found in a thrift shop and we are not allowed to talk about the book until we press record, which is sometimes agonising.We have lots of episodes coming up so if you find yourself enjoying our podcast, please be sure to subscribe to be among the first to hear about each episode.

email: rockpoprollpodcast@gmail.com website: www.rockpopandroll.com (Some of) My Favorite Covers: From the earliest days of rock and roll, cover songs have been a vital part of the music's forward movement, drawing on its past. Long before we knew about digital discovery, one of the fastest ways for new artists to connect with audiences was to reimagine an existing hit and put it on an album or 45—infusing it with their own style, energy, and attitude. A Chuck Berry riff might get filtered through the Beatles' harmonies, or an old blues song could get a new spin in the hands of the Rolling Stones. Musicians have always looked back to reinterpret the songs that shaped them, essentially creating a conversation across decades of music. Great rock and roll covers often redefine the song. Jimi Hendrix's “All Along the Watchtower” transformed Bob Dylan's stark folk ballad into a guitar-rock, psychedelic stomper. Aretha Franklin took Otis Redding's “Respect” and made it a soul-rock anthem of empowerment. Nirvana's raw take on David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" introduced the track to an entirely new audience. In each case, the cover didn't just honor the original—it expanded its reach. The best covers don't just repeat the past—they rewrite it, proving that a great song can live many lives. 10 Iconic Rock and Roll Covers and How They Transformed the Original Jimi Hendrix – All Along the Watchtower (1968) Originally by Bob Dylan, Hendrix electrified the song with guitars and redefined it as a rock classic. Dylan himself later performed it in Hendrix's style. The Beatles – Twist and Shout (1963) Originally recorded by The Top Notes and popularized by The Isley Brothers, the Beatles turned it into their own via John Lennon's famously shredded vocal take. Aretha Franklin – Respect (1967) Originally by Otis Redding, Aretha flipped the perspective, injecting it with feminist firepower, gospel-inspired vocals, and made it an anthem for empowerment and equality. The Rolling Stones – Little Red Rooster (1964) Originally by Willie Dixon (recorded by Howlin' Wolf), the Stones slowed it down, leaning into the deep Chicago blues feel, introducing American blues to a younger audience. Nirvana – The Man Who Sold the World (1993) Originally by David Bowie, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged version stripped it to a haunting acoustic vibe that resonated with '90s alternative fans - and (re)introduced Bowie to them, Joe Cocker – With a Little Help from My Friends (1968) Originally by The Beatles, Cocker turned the Sgt. Pepper and Ringo song into a soulful, slow-burning rocker. Killer organ and gospel vocals. Janis Joplin – Piece of My Heart (1968) Originally by Erma Franklin, Joplin's version with Big Brother and the Holding Company was a raw and bluesy. The Clash – I Fought the Law (1979) Written in 1958 and first released in 1960 by The Crickets (after Buddy Holly left) and popularized by The Bobby Fuller Four, The Clash injected punk. It was their first single in the United States.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 8ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1986 bhí plean ag na dochtúirí chun stailc a dhéanamh ach ar deireadh níor tharla sé mar go raibh idirghabháil ón Chúirt Oibre. I 1991 tháinig sé amach go raibh an costas chun páiste a chuir tríd bunscoil agus meánscoil timpeall 8 míle punt. I 1975 d'oscail an Aire Gaeltacht scoil nua mar go raibh siad ag iarradh níos mó cuairteoirí agus chun na daoine ón chontae chun labhair níos mó Ghaeilge. I 1991 tháinig sé amach go raibh an seomra in Inis chun dialann a fhoilsiú le caitheamh aimsire, imeachtaí agus spórt in Inis.

I 2010 bhí parúl Mark David Chapman, dúnmharfóir John Lennon, curtha siar go dtí mí Mheán Fómhair de bharr go raibh siad ag iarradh níos mó eolas a fháil ar an chás. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Dustin Hoffman I Meiriceá I 1937 agus rugadh amhránaí Shawn Mendes I gCeanada ar an lá seo I 1998 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.

Drugs as Weapons Against Us: The CIA's Murderous Targeting of SDS, Panthers, Hendrix, Lennon, Cobain, Tupac, and Other LeftistsDrugs as Weapons Against Us meticulously details how a group of opium-trafficking families came to form an American oligarchy and eventually achieved global dominance. This oligarchy helped fund the Nazi regime and then saved thousands of Nazis to work with the Central Intelligence Agency. CIA operations such as MK-Ultra pushed LSD and other drugs on leftist leaders and left-leaning populations at home and abroad. Evidence supports that this oligarchy further led the United States into its longest-running wars in the ideal areas for opium crops, while also massively funding wars in areas of coca plant abundance for cocaine production under the guise of a “war on drugs” that is actually the use of drugs as a war on us. Drugs as Weapons Against Us tells how scores of undercover U.S. Intelligence agents used drugs in the targeting of leftist leaders from SDS to the Black Panthers, Young Lords, Latin Kings, and the Occupy Movement. It also tells how they particularly targeted leftist musicians, including John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, and Tupac Shakur to promote drugs while later murdering them when they started sobering up and taking on more leftist activism. The book further uncovers the evidence that Intelligence agents dosed Paul Robeson with LSD, gave Mick Jagger his first hit of acid, hooked Janis Joplin on amphetamines, as well as manipulating Elvis Presley, Eminem, the Wu Tang Clan, and others.https://amzn.to/4fH3ZNDBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

We rocket into Guillermo del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” and discuss: Story & Writing, rule of resistance, the wall; Action Movie Energy; Sound design; and other such stuff and things and stuff. “Imagine all the people living life in peace.“ – John Lennon, from “Imagine” Notes & References: Support us on our Patreon here!

¿Sabías que en la portada de un disco de John Lennon aparece un gol hecho por un chileno? Esta es la historia de Jorge -o George- Robledo, el delantero que brilló en Inglaterra en los años 50 y que marcó el gol que un niño llamado John Lennon terminó dibujando y usando como carátula de su álbum Walls and Bridges décadas después.
Forrest Gump est une comédie américaine signée Robert Zemeckis, sortie en 1994. Ce film à la dramaturgie bonhomme, à la philosophie heureuse, parfois naïve, se taille une place de roi dans la culture populaire. Car Forrest Gump est un héros populaire. Touchant, aimant, droit, il est lʹhomme qui invente le smiley, le déhanché dʹElvis Presley, qui dénonce le scandale du Watergate et qui inspire sa chanson Imagine à John Lennon. Et tout cela sans en avoir conscience. Car Forrest Gump est un simple dʹesprit, un homme au QI en dessous de la moyenne qui se retrouve impliqué dans 30 ans dʹhistoire américaine. Forrest, incarné par Tom Hanks, est un héros malgré lui qui devient sportif de haut niveau, héros de guerre, entrepreneur à succès, gourou, influenceur, inventeur et découvreur. Entre les années 50 et les années 80, il est embraqué dans tous les soubresauts de lʹhistoire américaine, et invité par trois fois à serrer la pogne de trois présidents. Mais lui, son seul objectif, cʹest lʹamour de sa belle, Jenny, dont il aura un fils. En adaptant le roman du même nom de Winston Groom, sorti en 1986, Robert Zemeckis tourne ce qui deviendra un classique de lʹhistoire du cinéma et fera de Forrest Gump un personnage que tout le monde connaît et reconnaît citant allègrement quelques phrases et autres philosophies tirées du film. Robert Zemeckis, après les Retour vers le futur, A la poursuite du Diamant Vert et Qui veut la peau de Roger Rabbit, reprend son équipe et sʹembarque dans une aventure sur plusieurs décennies cinématographiques, profitant des avancées des trucages numériques pour parvenir à raconter son histoire. Le film reçoit une pluie de récompense, des Oscars en 1995, dont ceux de meilleur film, de meilleur réalisateur et de meilleur acteur pour Tom Hanks. Il ne nous reste plus quʹà nous asseoir sur un banc à Savannah, aux côtés dʹun homme au regard candide et de partager avec lui le contenu dʹune boîte de chocolat tandis quʹil nous raconte sa vie.

Martin Porter & David Goggin in conversation with David Eastaugh https://www.amazon.co.uk/Buzz-Me-Inside-Record-studios/dp/0500028699 Strap yourself in and take a helter-skelter ride through more than a decade's worth of high drama, hedonism, high tech and musical genius as told by the insiders at the heart of Record Plant studios, one of the most prolific recording factories of all time, founded in 1968 by charismatic audio engineer Gary Kellgren and ace businessman Chris Stone. In the 1970s, Record Plant was everywhere there was music. In 1976 alone, the studios produced three No. 1 albums: Stevie Wonder's Songs In The Key Of Life, The Eagles' Hotel California and Fleetwood Mac's Rumours. Based on the memoirs and archives of Chris Stone, as well as interviews with over 100 studio employees, music producers and recording artists, Buzz Me In tells the incredible story of Record Plant's evolution and the making of more than a decade's worth of Gold and Platinum albums, tape by tape. Illustrated throughout with behind-the-scenes images, archive photos of artists recording and performing live and album cover art, this revelatory and extensively researched book explores and celebrates the way the studios were designed to cater to every rock'n'roller's fancy. From the living-room-style studio in New York, where Jimi Hendrix's Electric Ladyland was recorded and where John Lennon later encamped, to the VIP clubhouse studio in Los Angeles where Stevie Wonder produced his classic hits, and the destination recording venue in Sausalito where Sly Stone, Bob Marley and Fleetwood Mac holed up, each studio location had its own inherent character – but all showcased the founders' proven formula of combining state-of-the-art audio, fantasy bedrooms and group Jacuzzis with sex, drugs and celebrity jams. Was Record Plant ‘the real Hotel California'?
Patrick brings listeners through childhood Beatles memories, uncanny coincidences, and the ripple effects music has on family life while fielding questions about Catholic prayer, door-to-door missionaries, and engaging stories of faith discovery. Stories move quickly from John Lennon collectibles and quirky mobile ads to practical apologetics and lively advice about handling unexpected guests intent on conversion. Humor and thoughtful insight intermingle as Patrick tackles repetition in prayer and faith journeys, giving the hour a rhythm that keeps listeners on their toes. Glen shares his John Lennon story (00:31) Patrick shares the first time he talked with Mormon Missionaries (09:33) Aimee (email) – There was a very disturbing ad on one of the games I play on my phone (13:18) Valerie (email) – I’ve never heard anyone in the media discuss how the Beatle Invasion impacted families in this country. (21:59) Josiah - I am not Catholic, but I am curious about Catholic prayer. Can you explain how Catholics legitimize repetitive prayer in light of Matthew 6? (37:41) Kelly - I had Mormons come to my house and I was 7th day Adventist, and I asked about the Sabbath, and they needed to bring in an elder and told me I wasn't allowed to talk to them anymore. (43:33)
Patrick answers heartfelt listener questions about confession, conversion, and moral choices, offering practical advice and personal anecdotes along the way; he addresses anxieties about sin and grace, helps a father concerned about his daughter’s interest in a Mormon classmate, and keeps the atmosphere lively with cheerful exchanges about music, childhood summers, humorous listener recordings, and fond remembrances of icons like Elvis and John Lennon. Unexpectedly, young Clare calls in and sparks a thoughtful yet accessible conversation about the many titles given to Mary. The episode pulses with energy, wit, and an unfiltered sincerity as Patrick moves between urgent spiritual topics and moments of genuine delight. Travis (email) - Is it possible for me to avoid hell if I were to die unexpectedly before I'm able to make a good confession? Patrick explains how to make a good confession (and encourages folks to use Relevant Radio App’s confession helper) (00:47) Rebecca (email) – Have I have committed a mortal sin? (14:35) Joe - I have a 15-year-old daughter who is interested in dating a Mormon boy. Is this harmless? (23:05) Clare (10-years-old) - Why does Mary have so many names? (35:36)

Bret McKenzie now mainly works on movie soundtracks, the Simpsons, Minecraft and the Muppets among them, which brings the pure delight of hearing his songs sung by Lady Gaga, Benedict Cumberbatch, Miss Piggy and Tony Bennett. He talks here about his early life in Wellington (ballet teacher Mum, racehorse trainer Dad), narrative comedy, songwriting heroes and his new album Freak Out City, and unravels New Zealand's double-edged sense of humour. Along with … … how Randy Newman pitches songs for soundtracks … “the test of a good song works is if it works with just one instrument” … lyrics he loved growing up like 16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford – ‘Some people say a man is made out of mud/ A poor man's made out of muscle and blood' … Morrissey's wounded reaction to his sausage-firing Quilloughby on the Simpsons ‘Panic On The Streets Of Springfield' ... solving the “fun puzzles” of a song brief and writing for “donkeys who have a dream” … the ingenious humour of John Prine, Harry Nilsson and Leonard Cohen … the moment in his live shows where he asks the audience for a story and creates a song around it – “one woman suggested ‘falling out of love' with her husband standing right beside her” ... playing the local girls schools aged 15 as the drummer in a James Brown funk band … reworking rejected songs – “which was hard with one from Paddington with its multiple rhymes for marmalade and Peru” … Flight Of The Conchords lampooning the acts they loved (Bowie, Pet Shop Boys) and playing the O2 – “pretending to be a stadium band and the audience pretending to be a stadium audience” … live on-stage application of the John Lennon “pomegranate” lyric-solving technique … “Play like a used car salesman! I need a Steely Dan solo here!” Recording with LA session legends like Leland Sklar.

Our original Life and Afterlife episode featuring John Lennon was one of the first episodes we produced, all the way back in December of 2014. We were intrigued, not only by his life and death, but by the many ghost stories featuring him that popped up after his death. He has been gone for 44 years and was assassinated when we were both under the age of 10. We didn't realize at the time that we had lost a musical legend in an unexpected way outside of a hotel in New York City near Central Park. This was The Dakota and we paid it a visit in 2020 when we visited New York City. Stories of it and the area around it being haunted by Lennon have been told for decades. Did Lennon sell his soul so The Beatles would attain their fame? Why was he gunned down? And is he still hanging around in the afterlife? Join us for the life and afterlife of John Lennon.

Show Notes: December 8th, 1980. New York City. John Lennon is gunned down outside The Dakota, and the world loses a Beatle. When police arrest his killer, Mark David Chapman, they find him carrying a copy of The Catcher in the Rye—a book that, for him, blurred the lines between fiction and murder. In this episode of Taboo Treasures, we explore the haunting artifact at the center of this infamous crime. From the history of The Beatles and J.D. Salinger's iconic novel to Chapman's obsession and New York's dark night, we unpack the symbolism of that paperback. We'll also follow the journey of this chilling collectible—right to the auction block.
