Podcast appearances and mentions of Yoko Ono

In this extended interview, Sean Ono Lennon talks with Anthony Mason about The Claypool Lennon Delirium, his musical collaboration with Les Claypool of Primus, and his upcoming jazz album. He also discusses his animated short film, "War Is Over!"; his custodianship of the musical legacy of his parents, John Lennon and Yoko Ono; how concert footage and previously-unknown private recordings came together in the documentary "One to One"; and how creating art is "a fundamental force" in his life.

The world of electronic music is now a seething mass of tropes and genres that belie the innovation that made electronica so exciting in the first place. Very few acts possess the ability to truly innovate or even experiment without a commercial endgame in mind. But todays guest is a genuine maverick of the sampler. Like the Art of Noise before him, Matthew Herbert is the quintessential English eccentric who has been popping out of his mental shed every few years to cry 'EUREKA!' as yet another impossibly original production is released. A man who can make music out of anything. A man who takes great pleasure in following bizarre conceptual ideas through to a fruitful end. Like the time he recorded 3500 people biting into an apple all at once, or his award winning Horse suite which captured the eternal equine spirit perfectly. His grand ideas capture the imagination of his audience and continually push his sound in unexpected directions. He has also made dancefloor bangers and killer remixes for the likes of Moloko, Bjork, Yoko Ono, Perry Farrel and many others. His current project with drummer and vocalist Momoko Gill is another triumph of rhythm, invention and ideas. We are more than delighted to welcome the crown prince of sampling Matthew Herbert to 'What Goes around'. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"Vuelven las Navidades", cantaba Tom Petty y sus Rompecorazones en "Unas navidades muy especiales" (1992) Nuestro ya clásico programa de "El sueño se ha acabado" en estas fechas con el Doctor Soul, nos lleva al recuerdo sorprendente que hacen de estos días, artistas que poco tienen que ver con lo que celebramos. Nos nos referimos al oportunismo comercial de aquellos que quieren aprovechar la ocasión para vender más discos, sino a músicos que nunca imaginaríamos que harían una canción de Navidad, porque se supone que odian estas fechas. José de Segovia habla del mensaje de la Encarnación por que la que Dios viene a salvar pecadores con Luis Lapuente. Lo hacemos en relación con cantantes muertos trágicamente, como Tom Petty (1950-2017) por sobredosis o el músico de jazz Chet Baker, (1929-1988), destrozado por la droga, que agonizó de dolor, caído de una ventana de un hotel de Amsterdam. Aunque hay muchas canciones sobre Papa Noel, ninguna como la que le dedicaron los Kinks al pobre hombre que hacía de Santa Claus delante de unos grandes almacenes. Si hay alguien conocido por sus excesos en la cultura francesa, ese es Gainsbourg, que rememora la Navidad del 67 con Michel Colomber. Si el grupo británico de los hermanos Davies, The Kinks, ha marcado la vida de Luis Lapuente, el de Ian Anderson, Jethro Tull, está en el origen de la introducción de José de Segovia por su ya fallecido primo Manuel Fernández en el conocimiento exhaustivo de la música pop. Escuchamos su "Canción de Navidad" con su visión "dickensiana" de la hipocresía de estas fechas para con los que sufren pobreza y privación. No podía faltar tampoco en esta ocasión el clásico contemporáneo de unas navidades alternativas de The Pogues. Su "Cuento de Navidad" (Fairytale in New York) nos introduce en la sorprendente fe del alcohólico Shane MacGowan y su temor a perder la Gracia (If I Fall From Grace 1988). Algunos pasan estos días viajando, pero ningún sitio más extraño que el aeropuerto en Navidad, como nos recuerda Nick Lowe (Christmas At The Airport) en su sorprendente álbum de Navidad en 2013. La más dura de las canciones que conocemos sobre estas fechas podría ser la "Tarjeta de Navidad de una prostituta en Minneapolis" de Tom Waits en 1978, una dosis de realismo sobrecogedora. Sus falsos mensajes de paz y armonía son satirizados por los Ramones en su "¡Feliz Navidad! No quiero pelear esta noche!" (1989), pero para muchos, estas fechas son simplemente la ocasión para conocer a la persona que deseas, como en "Esta Navidad" (1970) del cantante de "soul" Donny Hathaway, que acabó también cayendo de una ventana en Nueva York por su enfermedad mental. "La Navidad de Luis" (1973) de León Gieco es probablemente el clásico alternativo de estas fechas del "rock nacional" argentino. Su dictadura militar llevó a Gieco al exilio forzado en los años 70, pero al músico británico de la Velvet Underground de Nueva York, John Cale, lde vuelta mentalmente a su Galés natal (Child´s Christmas In Wales 1973) en su evocación de "Paris 1919". Muchos creen que las "2000 Millas"(1983) es una canción de Navidad, cuando lo que refleja es el duelo de Chrissie Hynde por la muerte por sobredosis de su compañero y guitarrista de Pretenders, James Honeyman-Scott. Si a muchos les recuerdan estas fiestas los seres queridos que ya han perdido, para otros es la molesta perspectiva de volver a tener reunirse con esos familiares molestos, como el del "Villancico para mi cuñado Fernando" de Love Of Lesbian en 2007. Acabamos el programa con el deseo de John Lennon y Yoko Ono de una "Feliz Navidad" (Happy Xmas 1971) en que Cristo traiga "la paz el mundo no da" (Juan 14:27).

Probablement n'avez-vous jamais entendu ces 45 tours de Noël que les Beatles ont publié chaque année jusqu'à la fin du groupe, gravés dans un disque souple pour être envoyés exclusivement aux membres de leur fan club. Il faut dire que dès le départ, en 1963, ses membres sont si nombreux et actifs qu'il prend des allures de véritable entreprise, le modèle que vont essayer de reproduire beaucoup d'artistes par après, comme le groupe Kiss, aux Etats-Unis.Si ces 7 singles n'ont jamais été vraiment commercialisés, excepté un box à tirage limité il y a quelques années, c'est surtout parce qu'ils sont invendables. Il s'agit principalement de messages délirants des quatre joyeux lurons souhaitant leurs meilleurs vœux à leurs fans, quelques impros et, en 1968, nous sommes en pleine année psychédélique, des collages de sons bizarres. Mais cette année, est-ce un signe, les messages sont enregistrés individuellement. Ah ne me faites pas dire ce que je n'ai pas dit, ils ne sont pas en guerre. La preuve, une fête de Noël est organisée chez Apple, le label qu'ils ont créé, sur Savile Row, à Londres. Oui, la maison sur le toit de laquelle ils vont jouer dans un mois leur dernier et légendaire concert. Mais là, en cette période proche du réveillon où les Anglais ne savent plus se tenir tellement ils ont l'esprit à la fête, c'est le grand soir chez Apple dont la porte d'entrée n'arrête pas de sonner. Derek Taylor, le chef de la communication a en effet battu le rappel du personnel : les Beatles vont offrir des cadeaux à leur famille.Et qui joue le Père Noël ? Ben John Lennon, évidemment. C'est lui le fondateur des Beatles. Et même s'il est aux abonnés absents question d'être le chef, depuis maintenant deux bonnes années, il aime croire être à la barre. Il a d'ailleurs bombardé Yoko Ono, sa nouvelle compagne, mère Noël. Je ne vous dis pas la tête des mômes des employés qui déjà n'avaient jamais vu une mère Noël, encore moins perchée sur des hauts talons. Si Paul McCartney et sa compagne Linda ne sont pas présents, tiens, tiens, Ringo Starr et George Harrison sont bien là, avec leur femme. Et bien sûr, en pleine période hippie, c'est le grand foutoir : tout le monde a invité tout le monde. Alors que John Lennon y va de grands Ho-Ho-Ho en distribuant des cadeaux, Derek l'interrompt en disant, John, y a une bande de Hells Angels à la porte. Quoi ? C'est moi qui les ai invités, dit George, avec son flegme habituel. Soyez sympas avec eux, ce sont de braves gens. Des Hells ! Mais tu les as rencontrés où ? A San Francisco. Quoi ? Je te dis qu'ils sont sympas. Et c'est vrai qu'ils sont cools. Bon à un moment, ils vont s'énerver car la dinde de 21 kilos 500 que Derek a achetée n'en finit pas de rôtir dans le four. Alors tout le monde se rue sur les roulades de saucisses de l'apéro. Derek s'est d'ailleurs réfugié dans les toilettes avec une assiette débordant de ce met typiquement british, par crainte de ne rien manger d'autre ce soir. C'est vrai, des Hells Angels à Londres, à une soirée de Noël ! Pourquoi pas une chanson de Noël en plein mois de juillet, enregistrée par 30°C à l'ombre. S'il savait que ça a été le cas de la plus célèbre de toutes …

With Christophe Cherix, Adams is the co-curator of "Wilfredo Lam: When I Don't Sleep, I Dream" at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. The exhibition includes more than 130 works made between the 1920s and 1970s, making it the most extensive Lam retrospective presented in the United States. "When I Don't Sleep, I Dream" argues that Lam, a Cuban-born artist who spent much of his life in Spain, France, and Italy, was a prototypical transnational artist. It is on view in New York through April 11, 2026. The exhibition catalogue was published by MoMA; Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $60-70. Jamillah James has organized the presentation of "Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind" at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago. The exhibition is one of the most comprehensive presentations to date of the pioneering Fluxus artist, musician, and world peace activist. "Music of the Mind" includes over 200 works across a vast array of media, including performance footage, music and sound recording, film, photography, installation, and more. It is on view at the MCA through February 22, 2026. An exhibition catalogue was published in North America by Yale University Press. Amazon and Bookshop offer it for $38-47. Air date: December 18, 2025.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 17, 2025 is: espouse • ih-SPOWZ • verb To espouse an ideology, belief, etc., is to take it up and support it as a cause. Espouse is usually encountered in formal speech and writing. // The article explores some of the lesser-known viewpoints espoused by the charismatic leader. See the entry > Examples: “Crammed into a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village, they [Yoko Ono and John Lennon] immersed themselves in the city's counterculture, absorbing progressive politics whenever they weren't glued to the television set. Lennon's celebrity secured the duo a large platform to espouse these ideas ...” — Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Pitchfork, 11 Oct. 2025 Did you know? As you might guess, the words espouse and spouse are hitched, both coming from the Latin verb spondēre, meaning “to promise” or “to betroth.” In fact, the two were once completely interchangeable, with each serving as a noun meaning “a newly married person” or “a partner in marriage” and also as a verb meaning “to marry.” Their semantic separation began when the noun espouse fell out of use. Nowadays, espouse is almost exclusively encountered as a verb used in the figuratively extended sense “to commit to and support as a cause.”

TrulySignificant.com honors John Lennon on the 45th anniversary of his assassination. Featured on this show is the talented Darin Murphy, featured in the Broadway musical Lennon. Hear the inside story on John Lennon based on Darin doing the show through a beautiful blog that Ariana Huffington published. Enjoy this and the rare insightful stories about John Lennon through the lens of Darin Murphy who channeled his best Lennon on Broadway with Yoko Ono in the audience. When I was born in the fall of1964, the Beatles had just completed a full-scale invasion of the world (they actually were greeted as liberators). In my home the sound of the Beatles was like mother's milk, and the voice of John Lennon was as recognizable as those of my own parents. It was the envy of the music industry and ironically, John himself despised it, but in no way could it ever be mistaken for anyone else's. And I couldn't get enough of it. “Psychedelic vision is reality to me and always was. When I looked in the mirror at twelve, thirteen…I'd trance out and watch my face changing, becoming cosmic and complete. My eyes would get bigger and the room would vanish.” On December 8, 1980, I was 16 and watching Monday Night Football as Howard Cosell announced John's murder to America. Many would say that a part of them died that night, but not me. On the contrary, a part of me was born. I had always been an admirer, but suddenly I identified with John more than ever, and I discovered I could deliver a spot-on impression of that distinct voice. When I acquired my first 4- track tape machine, I would dissect the Beatles' recordings and recreate them as closely as possible. Those recordings eventually led to a job performing in a Lennon production on Broadway, which was seen by Arianna Huffington, which led to you reading this at this moment. That's just one of many serendipities and synchronicities that occurred within the cast and crew of LENNON over this past year, and they fed profound energy to a project that was already unique to anything else any of us had ever done. For all of us in the company, and Yoko Ono, who visited often, LENNON was a spiritual trip that transcended both show and show business, and I got to know a few sides of John that I hadn't before. Though we were dealing with a forty-year-long story that ended a quarter century ago, many of us, onstage and in the seats, felt as though we were actually experiencing John in the here and now. Perhaps that is where the real story of John Lennon lies, not in the places and dates and times, but in the people who have experienced him. There are those close to John who were enchanted by his charm, warmed by his generosity, frustrated by his stubbornness and wounded by his cruelty. And there are those far from him who are captivated by his charisma, inspired or enraged by his politics,enamored by his expressions of love or, like me, galvanized by his craftsmanship and charged by his spirit. Today as much as ever, artists use the talents of John Lennon the way Native Americans used the bison. Besides his musicianship and sensibility, we gain inspiration from his work ethic, his intellect, his literary skills, his presence onscreen, his comic timing, his artistic boldness, his naked candor, and his philosophy on life, which changed shape as his search for his own authenticity widened. “…The hardest thing is facing yourself. It's much easier to shout “Revolution” and “Power to the People” than it is to take a look at yourself; find out what's real inside you and what isn't, when you're pulling the wool over your own eyes, that's the hardest one.' It was no accident that Lennon left such a lasting musical legacy. He and McCartney had set out to do it purposely, to create music for future audiences as well as their own. But John had an even loftier goal: advancing the evolution of human consciousness. He talked and sang about it constantly, about how everyone could make it happen just by getting their minds together, “projecting our images in space and in time…raising the spirit of peace and love.” But he also warned us that the responsibility for bringing about such change lies in each of us as individuals. “You have to do it yourself…I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't cure you. You can cure you.” We've been challenged, more than ever now, to recognize the man- made forces that lie behind our suffering; the prisons we've built for ourselves by limiting our thinking and our perceptions of reality; the ego-influenced illusions by which we live and die. These issues are front-page headlines, right now, every day, and that is why the words and dreams of John Lennon matter every bit as much now as they did then. At the heart of the matter is Truth, and it's important to realize, as Lennon did, that Truth is not some inanimate object to be manipulated, but a natural force living in the fabric of the soul that must be respected. But first, it helps to remember the most simple and basic of all the man's messages, the one he repeated over and over and would no doubt utter again if he had one more moment among us: I Love You. And we love you, too, John. Thanks!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

Un dia en la vida, aquel 8 de Diciembre de 1980, en el que una limusina se detuvo a las puertas del edificio Dakota de la ciudad de Nueva York y de ella descendieron John Lennon y Yoko Ono. Cruzaron por delante de un joven al que había firmado su último, “Double Fantasy” y este le disparó 5 balas por la espalda. Lennon se desplomó pero los detalles importan.

The third part of Tony's chat with The Beatles biographer Ian Leslie, exploring the emotional and creative partnership between John Lennon and Paul McCartney. They discuss how Lennon's 1966 “more popular than Jesus” remark shook him, how the Beatles abandoned touring for studio experimentation, and how Yoko Ono and Linda Eastman became catalysts for John and Paul pulling apart. Business conflicts, especially over management, deepened divisions even as the band continued producing remarkable work, culminating in Abbey Road. Despite a turbulent breakup, Lennon and McCartney slowly rebuilt a loose friendship before Lennon's death, and the Beatles' artistic legacy continues to shape modern music.Hosted by Sir Tony Robinson | Instagram @sirtonyrobinsonProducer: Melissa FitzGerald | X @melissafitzgWithIan Leslie | www.ian-leslie.comIan Leslie is the author of acclaimed and bestselling books on human psychology and creativity which have been translated into over a dozen languages.

December 8th marks the 45th anniversary of John Lennon's death in 1980. In this special rebroadcast of Modern Law Library, we're looking back at how his immigration helped expose corruption within the Nixon administration and rewrote the immigration process. His attorney, Leon Wildes, sat down with Lee Rawles and his son Michael Wildes to discuss what the case and the legal legacy Lennon left behind. ----- When immigration attorney Leon Wildes got a call from an old law school classmate in January 1972 about representing a musician and his wife who were facing deportation, their names didn't ring a bell. Even after meeting with them privately at their New York City apartment, Wildes wasn't entirely clear about who his potential clients were. He told his wife that he'd met with a Jack Lemon and Yoko Moto. “Wait a minute, Leon,” his wife Ruth said to him. “Do you mean John Lennon and Yoko Ono?” What Wildes didn't know when accepting the Lennons' case was that he and his clients were facing a five-year legal battle which would eventually expose corruption at the highest levels of the Nixon administration and change the U.S. immigration process forever. His account of that legal battle is told in “John Lennon vs. the USA: The Inside Story of the Most Bitterly Contested and Influential Deportation Case in United States History.” Leon Wildes and his son Michael (now a managing partner at the firm his father founded, Wildes & Weinberg) joined the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles to discuss the legacy of the case and the effect it's had on the entire family.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 30, 2025 is: iconoclast • eye-KAH-nuh-klast • noun Iconoclast originally referred to someone who destroys religious images or who opposes their veneration. It is now used to refer broadly to anyone who criticizes or opposes beliefs and practices that are widely accepted. // The comedian had developed a reputation as a contrarian and an iconoclast for whom no topic was off-limits. See the entry > Examples: “Chicago will be the only U.S. city to see the 92-year-old iconoclast Yoko Ono's new show. ... ‘Yoko Ono: Music of the Mind' goes back to the start of the artist's career in the mid-'50s, and the role she played in the creative worlds of New York, Tokyo and London.” — Carrie Shepherd, Axios, 1 Apr. 2025 Did you know? Iconoclast comes from the Middle Greek word eikonoklástēs, which translates literally as “image destroyer.” While the destruction wrought by today's iconoclasts is figurative—in modern use, an iconoclast is someone who criticizes or opposes beliefs and practices that are widely accepted—the first iconoclasts directed their ire at religious icons, those representations of sacred individuals used as objects of veneration. The Byzantine Empire's Iconoclastic Controversy occurred in the 8th and 9th centuries, but the word iconoclast didn't find its way to English until the 17th century. Figurative use came later still.

Dear listeners, As we enter a new month of December, I wanted to share a teaser of the audiobook of my new book, How to Live an Artful Life. https://www.waterstones.com/book/how-to-live-an-artful-life/katy-hessel/9781529155204 Here is an extract from the month of December, featuring its introduction and the first five days. Each month is based around a theme. For example, January is about seeking out ideas, February is about love, and September focuses on time. December's is joy and features thoughts, reflections, creative exercises and daily routines from the likes of Laurie Anderson, Louise Bourgeois, Yoko Ono, Judy Chicago, Faith Ringgold, and more. A time of celebration, light and beauty; a time to spend with family and take part in festivities; to relish in the delights that the gift of art can give, and to take stock in everything you've discovered, learnt, tried and tasted this year. As we embark on this month, before we start again in January, think of December – like art – as a gift that has been given to you, full of work yet to be written, painted, sculpted and more; people whom you have yet to meet, talk to or fall in love with.

Mad Men told the Nature Conservancy et al to brand themselves a "Movement" - back in the 70's when those soon-to-be-billionaire orgs got their meal ticket from the Clean Air Clean Water acts and the EPA. Here's the catch. Real social movements have music. Sun Ra and Neil Young, Erykah Badhu and Bjork and Brian Eno and Yoko Ono - made their own way to the Earth and back to our ear. Now the complete and utter emergency we are experiencing has got us turning to the Earth itself for the music. And we're hearing symphonies from the plants and animals, rocks and clouds. Radical tunes are rising like Amazonia natives invading COP 30. The whole Earth is singing. Like real social movements, the breath of our Earth activism will be music.

The film screened to critical acclaim at multiple film festivals including Venice, Telluride, and Sundance.A rare and revelatory inside look at John Lennon and Yoko Ono's first year in New York City in the early 1970s, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO delivers an immersive, cinematic experience that brings to life a chapter of explosive creativity and political activism in their lives.By 1971, John and Yoko had just arrived in the United States. They lived in a tiny apartment in Greenwich Village and watched hours of American television. The film integrates a riotous mélange of television to conjure the era through what the two would have been seeing on the screen - the Vietnam War, "The Price is Right," President Richard Nixon, Coca-Cola ads, Walter Cronkite, and "The Waltons." As they experience a year of love and transformation in the U.S., the couple begins to change their approach to protest. This ultimately led to the "One to One" benefit concert, which they organized after seeing Geraldo Rivera's exposé on child neglect and abuse at the Willowbrook State School.On August 30, 1972, John performed at the "One to One" benefit concert at Madison Square Garden - his only full-length show after leaving The Beatles. Footage of this electrifying performance from John and Yoko along with The Elephant's Memory Band had been restored for the documentary and is interwoven throughout the film along with other never-before-seen material.Featuring music newly remixed and produced by Sean Ono Lennon, the documentary takes that legendary musical event and uses it as the starting point to explore 18 defining months in the lives of John and Yoko. Filmed in a meticulously faithful reproduction of the duo's New York City apartment, ONE TO ONE: JOHN & YOKO offers a bold new take on a seminal time in the lives of two iconic artists and how their work continues to resonate today.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Sometimes life forces you to hit the pause button. Not because you wanted to, but because your body says, “sit down honey, we've got work to do.”After nearly two decades of podcasting, we thought we'd seen it all, until this summer, when I had emergency eye surgery to save my vision, and Marc had his heart shocked back into rhythm after a scary bout of atrial fibrillation.Between the two of us, we had enough hospital bracelets to start our own line of jewelry. But through all of it, we learned a few things: about getting older, facing fear, and finding humor when life gets dizzy or blurry.On today's show, we're sharing what really happened, what we learned about resilience and love, and how to keep your sense of humor when the road gets bumpy. It's our comeback episode: I Almost Went Blind, a story about healing, gratitude, and seeing life in a whole new light.

Season Six of Saturday Night Live is one of the most infamous in the show's history. The show attempts the near impossible task of continuing on with a brand new cast, an almost entirely new writing staff, and – most notably – without Lorne Michaels producing.Patrick Weathers, a Featured Player that season, joins us to pull back the curtain on the very brief Jean Doumanian year of SNL. Ever the raconteur, he shares his journey from opening act for The Meters (former SNL musical guests), to cold calling producers and forcing them to let him audition, to his whirlwind tenure on the show.Patrick tells tales of auditioning alongside Paul Reubens (at which a famous director friend may or may not have been in attendance for) and watching a young Eddie Murphy's stand up before he was cast, to what it was like trying to replace the original Not Ready for Prime Time Players and work for a producer that not many had faith in. He talks about his favorite hosts, memorable sketches, and writers he learned from. He also gives a first-hand account of Doumanian's final week at SNL – which started with Bill Murray returning to the SNL and ended with her (and him) being fired.Patrick gives us an inside look at an era of the show rarely talked about. And, along the way, he also drops nuggets about Woody Allen, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, Studio 54, Dan Aykroyd, Scotland Yard, Dick Ebersol, and even Lorne.---------------------------------Subscribe today!

Brandon and Lindsy welcome a guest who cracks open a hidden dossier on culture-war psyops—where protest songs, psychedelics, and carefully scripted narratives intertwine. Listeners are led through a labyrinth of acid parties that weren't so “free,” Laurel Canyon salons doubling as distribution hubs, and elite families underwriting a psychedelic renaissance that looks far less organic than advertised. From Lennon to Hendrix, Cobain to Tupac, the names you thought were untouchable are revealed as pawns in a much bigger game. This conversation pulls the velvet curtain back on COINTELPRO echoes in hip-hop, the strange survival of “sex & rock 'n' roll” while “no drugs” artists vanished, and the shift from vinyl manipulation to viral manipulation.  Guiding us through this maze of evidence and implication is researcher and filmmaker John Potash.Get his books---https://amzn.to/3Wizkgnhttps://www.johnpotash.com/Timestamps 00:52 Setting up today's topic – hidden war through drugs & culture 02:00 John Potash joins  03:15 John's personal story with LSD and realization 05:20 Counseling, corruption & activism background 07:45 Oligarch fingerprints on U.S. intelligence 10:00 How John got sources on Tupac & COINTELPRO 12:10 CIA whistleblowers & early articles 14:30 Courtney Love, Kurt Cobain & LSD distribution 16:50 MKULTRA documents & acid in colleges/prisons 19:10 Timothy Leary, Millbrook Mansion & the Mellons 21:25 Ken Kesey, Merry Pranksters & the psychedelic bus 23:50 Crisis-actor rumors about Tupac 26:15 The Grateful Dead & acid tests 28:30 How psychedelics weaken emotional control 31:20 John Lennon's story, Yoko Ono & manipulation 33:35 Heroin as a control tactic & parallels with other artists 36:00 Psychedelics today, ketamine, and medical narrative 38:15 Funding links: MAPS, Heffter Institute & billionaires 40:35 Church abuse, MKULTRA techniques still active 42:55 John's website, books & projects / closing thoughts
