Podcast appearances and mentions of John Lennon

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.

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.

Hello and welcome to How Did I Get Here? From The Vault! Today we go back to episode 723 for a great conversation with the one-and-only, BP Fallon originally released on March 24, 2014! Below are my original notes form the show.  Episode 258 is up and it's a double-header! First up is BP Fallon. His career in the music business started with interviewing John Lennon and Yoko Ono during their bed-in-for-peace in Amsterdam, he then became the "weed tester" for Paul McCartney, he was the publicist for T-Rex, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy and more, he's a dj, a best selling author, a photographer and much, much more. Last year, with his band, BP Fallon and the Bandits, he released, Still Legal, an amazing album with a star-studded band. We caught up during sxsw and had a great chat about it all. Enjoy our conversation. I sure did. Let's get down! Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, X, Facebook, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or anywhere you pod.

“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!

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. Creedence Clearwater Revival – I Heard It Through the Grapevine (1970) Originally by Gladys Knight & The Pips and made famous by Marvin Gaye, CCR turned the Motown hit into an 11-minute swamp-rock jam. Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah (1994) Originally by Leonard Cohen, Buckley's haunting performance influenced artists in the decades that followed. Further Listening: 4 Lesser-Known but Brilliant Beatles Covers The Black Keys – She Said, She Said (2002) A gritty, stripped-down garage-rock take on The Beatles' psychedelic classic from Revolver. Siouxsie and the Banshees – Dear Prudence (1983) The Beatles' ballad morphs in goth-tinged new wave.. Gov't Mule – She Said, She Said / Tomorrow Never Knows (1998) A jam-band fusion of two Beatles tracks Fiona Apple – Across the Universe (1998) Slowed to a languid pace, Apple leans into the cosmic melancholy

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. Sin Typically Tropical le Barbados – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1975. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1987 fuair U2 a dara huimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena hamhrán I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For óna albam Joshua Tree. 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. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 8th of August, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1986: Strike planned by doctors were averted following intervention by the Labour Court. 1991: It was reported that to educate one child from the beginning r primary school to the end of secondary level it would cost £8,000. 1975: The Minister of the Gaeltacht opened a new school in hopes to interest visitors and urge Clare people to return to Irish Heritage. 1991: It was reported that Junior Chamber Ennis would publish a social diary featuring all social activities, events and sports in Ennis That was Typically Tropical with Barbados – the biggest song on this day in 1975 Onto music news on this day In 1987 U2 scored their second US No.1 single from their Joshua Tree album with 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For'. 2010 John Lennon's killer, Mark David Chapman, had his parole hearing delayed until early September so that officials could gather additional information. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Dustin Hoffman was born in America in 1937 and singer Shawn Mendes was born in Canada on this day in 1998 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of 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.

¿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.

For this episode we're joined by the excellent Val Mabbs, who talks to us about writing for Record Mirror in the late '60s and early '70s. We start with our guest's early life as a mod in Hertfordshire – and her memories of seeing the Who/the High Numbers in 1964/5. Val then explains how she got her foot in the door at the Mirror and recalls colleagues such as Norman Jopling, Charlie Gillett and Lon Goddard, not forgetting Peter Jones, the editor who first spotted her potential as an interviewer.  Val talks us through her encounters with such legends as Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and Marc Bolan (not to mention Status Quo, for whose double-denim "outfits" she can take indirect credit). En passant we hear clips from Chris Welch's 2005 audio interview with John Walker, surely the handsomest of the three Walker "Brothers" he first met in 1965. After Barney gives a nod to the week's free feature about Bob Dylan "going electric" at 1965's Newport Folk Festival, Val resumes her story and brings us up to the present day. We also pay tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne and discuss the real origins of heavy metal. Finally, Mark and Jasper talk us out with remarks on newly-added library pieces about Graham Nash (1967), Lady Gaga (2012) and Billie Eilish (2019). Many thanks to special guest Val Mabbs. Pieces discussed: Jimi Hendrix: "Western Movie For Jimi" Says The Man Himself, T. Rex: Marc's science fiction film, John and Yoko: The Apple and the Grapefruit, The Walker Brothers' John Walker audio, Al Kooper: The On the Tracks Interview, How Bob Dylan And The Holy Trinity Changed Music Forever, Scene of the Crime: Bob Dylan at Newport, Elijah Wald: Dylan Goes Electric! Newport, Seeger, Dylan and the Night That Split the '60s, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne: How Black Was My Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne: Lord of the Wings, The Hollies: The change in Graham, Lady Gaga: The most extraordinary popstar Mark Ellen has ever met and Billie Eilish at Reading Festival.

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.

In this intimate conversation, we discover how one of rock's busiest guitarists balances his creative life.When scrolling through Ashley's social media, the sheer volume of his musical commitments is exhausting—Hendrix tributes at Cherry Bar, Bowie celebrations at the Odeon, performances with The Church, Paul Kelly tours, and the list goes on. "I have to keep playing, otherwise you'll lose your touch," he explains with characteristic understatement, revealing the disciplined professional beneath the laid-back demeanor. Recently serving as music director for the John Lennon tribute "Give Peace a Chance," Ashley brings the same meticulous attention to coordinating others that he applies to his own musical endeavors.The most exciting revelation comes with discussion of "Alexandria Sunset," Ashley's first solo album in over a decade, where he plays and sings every note himself. "While I've got my faculties, I'll do a record where I can play everything on it," he says, explaining his approach to capturing songs when they're fresh rather than creating separate demos. Drawing inspiration from 60s and 70s rock, especially evident in his Donovan-influenced dreamy tracks, Ashley continues crafting music that feels simultaneously nostalgic and relevant. And in true Ashley Naylor fashion, he's simultaneously working on three separate album projects.Discover the music, methodology, and mindset of a guitarist whose relentless creativity and humble approach to collaboration have made him one of Australia's most respected musicians. Follow Ashley on social media and pre-order his new album through Bandcamp now.What has Ash Naylor been up to lately?  Let's find out!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit: ThatRadioChick.com.au

There's knowing The Beatles, and then there's knowing how George likes his hair done. Leslie Cavendish is one of the few people in the world who can lay claim to the latter. And in his book, "The Cutting Edge," he details his work and friendship with the Fab Four. From The Magical Mystery Tour to the final performance on the top of Apple Records, Leslie was there. "The Cutting Edge," by Leslie Cavendish is available right now from Barnes and Noble, and you can get signed copies (and learn more about his personal guided tours of London) from his website.

In this episode, we sit down with veteran writer Glenn Greenberg to explore his diverse career spanning comic books, journalism, and fiction writing. Glenn shares his journey from becoming a regular Marvel Comics writer, penning stories for iconic titles like The Spectacular Spider-Man, The Rampaging Hulk, The Silver Surfer, and Dracula, to his transition into broader entertainment writing. We dive into his work on the beloved Star Trek: Untold Voyages series, which depicted Captain Kirk's second five-year mission and became a fan favorite, leading to his expansion into writing several Star Trek universe books. Glenn also discusses his journalism career, writing for major publications like Entertainment Weekly, People, and Time for Kids, as well as creating special-edition magazines for Time Life Books covering pop icons from John Lennon to Spider-Man, Indiana Jones, and Marvel Comics itself. Support the show___________________Check out video versions of this and other episodes on YouTube: youtube.com/dollarbinbandits!If you like this podcast, please rate, review, and subscribe on Apple Podcasts or wherever you found this episode.

From the moment John Lennon was gunned down in New York City to the tragic death of Princess Diana that stopped the world in its tracks or the shock of losing Kobe Bryant in a sudden helicopter crash. Now the world once again mourns as news breaks of the death of Ozzy Osbourne. Each time a celebrity passes the world seems to pause as the tributes pour in, candles are lit, songs are sung, murals painted and social media is flooded with grief, nostalgia and questions that never seem to find answers. Why does it hit us so hard when someone we've never met dies? Why do millions grieve a stranger? Someone who in many cases represented lifestyles and worldviews completely at odds with biblical truth. More importantly, what does God's Word say about life, death, legacy and eternity?

We present the first of two episodes in the lead-up to Antony's upcoming milestone birthday. The main part of this episode features extracts from the first two sections of Matt Haig's excellent and popular 2015 book ‘Reasons To Stay Alive'.   This profound, readable and sometimes humorous book details Haig's recovery from ‘a sustained bout of anxiety and depression', and Antony interjects with (hopefully useful) observations and ideas for containment of negative feelings and emotions.   This is preceded by a look at anxiety and depression in terms of definitions, causes, symptoms and possible treatments.   We hope you enjoy the show!

RIP to The Prince of Darkness. A rock singer with the rare power to scare us, charm us or make us laugh at any given moment. Today we give Ozzy a proper send off with an official IWOL ranking and we also dig a little deeper into John Lennon's Lost Weekend, an event that Ozzy would have probably enjoyed ;) 

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.

Guest and HostGuest: Cindy Hulej, Luthier/Artist | Website: https://www.cindyguitars.com/Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/Show NotesWhat happens when the story of a city becomes part of the music we make? In this episode of Music Evolves, host Sean Martin sits down with luthier and artist Cindy Hulej of Cindy Guitars to explore how reclaimed wood from historic New York buildings is transformed into custom electric guitars—each one uniquely shaped by memory, material, and imagination.Craft as InnovationCindy's process at Carmine Street Guitars isn't just about building instruments—it's about listening to what the material has to say. The beams salvaged from landmarks like the Chelsea Hotel and John Lennon's former home aren't just structural—they carry decades of vibration, weather, and presence. That physical history directly shapes how these guitars sound, feel, and resonate—offering a kind of analog innovation rooted in human touch and intention.Cindy describes how she and her husband Johnny repurpose old beams, often salvaged from 1800s-era buildings, and transform them into guitars that are not only playable but deeply resonant—physically and emotionally. The aged wood, shaped by centuries of seasonal change, yields a tone that's warm and chimey, with a resonance modern lumber can't match. “You're working with material that's already lived a hundred lives,” she explains. “You just have to unlock the next one.”Creativity Beyond ConventionEach guitar is made by hand, down to the smallest detail. From collaborating with boutique pickup winders to mixing finishes from shellac flakes, Cindy builds instruments that are both sonic and visual statements. No two are alike—because the creative process isn't about repeating perfection, it's about shaping something personal and alive. Whether players come with a precise vision or just a feeling, Cindy helps translate that into tone and form.Reimagining the Past to Shape the FutureThis isn't just about guitars. It's about the convergence of history, artistry, community, and sound. This episode challenges the idea that innovation must come from new tech or flashy trends. Sometimes, the most meaningful advances come from rethinking old materials and techniques.Cindy's guitars are a form of living history—reminding us that sound isn't just produced, it's inherited, interpreted, and carried forward. And, Cindy's path from bartending to building some of the most soulful instruments in New York is a reminder that craft isn't just skill—it's commitment to meaning.About Rick Kelly and Carmine Street GuitarsCarmine Street Guitars, located in New York City's Greenwich Village, is a hand-built electric guitar workshop led by legendary luthier Rick Kelly. Known for using reclaimed old-growth wood from historic buildings across the city, Rick has built instruments for renowned musicians such as Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, and many others. His approach blends time-honored techniques with a reverence for the city's past, crafting guitars that are as storied as the musicians who play them. At the heart of the shop's ethos is a commitment to individuality, craftsmanship, and sonic integrity—values continued today through Cindy Guitars and the growing creative community within the space.SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring this show or placing an ad in the podcast?Sponsorship

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.

Today:May Pang dated John Lennon in her early 20s, and has the photos to prove it. She joins us to discuss her new pop-up art installation, featuring photos of their time together, in Cambridge, titled The Lost Weekend: The Photography of May Pang.And, public bar advocates in Massachusetts get paid less than in surrounding states to represent indigent clients. They've been on strike for better pay since late May, and some people charged with violent crimes are being released because their court proceedings can't continue without representation. We talk with two of the striking lawyers: Mara Dolan and Jennifer O'Brien.

In the late seventies, Studio 54 was the place to be for musicians and celebrities alike. John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and others all famously hung out at the notorious club where hedonism was part of the venue's allure. The success of Studio 54 was sudden and massive, resulting in mountains of cash, cocaine, jealousy, revenge, an FBI raid, and an ironic ending for one of its owners.

What do J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye and the Holy Bible have in common? They both contain explicit instructions to kill John Lennon—or at least, according to Mark David Chapman, they do. And guess what? Chapman's been up to some stuff since that fateful day in 1980 when he snuffed out the life of the quote-unquote “Smart” Beatle. In this episode, the boys find out exactly what the fame-hungry murderer has been up to since our original coverage of him in Episode 315 on the Last Podcast on the Left—which includes being denied parole a grand total of THIRTEEN TIMES. Maybe he should've given peace a chance, huh?
