Speaker 1: most beloved cultural figures of the twentieth century. His songs

3
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 1: inspired dreamers to imagine, his search for the truth gave

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 1: power to the people. But some thought he dreamed too much.

5
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: Others thought he was too powerful, so he was followed,

6
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,560
Speaker 1: he was threatened, he was declared a danger to the

00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,960

Speaker 1: Richard Nixon, Phil Spector, Yoko Ono, Mark David Chapman, and more.

21
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: It is a tale full of paranoia, police raids, kidnappings,

22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: wire taps, lost weekends, extortion, and murder. This evening, John

23
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,480
Speaker 1: Lennon arrived at the emergency room at Roosevelt Hospital. You

24
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: were unable to restore the life of Mr Lennon. There's

25
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: a special agent, Jim Steele with the Federal Bureau of Investignation. Okay,

26
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: subject is Lennon John Winston. Oh no, this information protains

27
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 1: to a period ending September. Interview. Subject is Moon John.

28
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: I like to think everything I just told you happened

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: in that ferry order, because the stories just work well together.

30
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: That way, I could have just told it all in reverse.

31
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: All I know is that the more John and hung

32
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: around the rest of us, the crazyer he became. Relationships

33
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: with John could be strange. John no longer wanted me around,

34
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 1: I guess. So we made a deal and both got

35
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: what we wanted. I got ninety grand from a capital

36
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: records exact and exchange for handing the tapes over, and

37
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 1: John got to move on without me. We simply weren't

38
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: prepared for what was coming and When it hit, it

39
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: seemed to come out of nowhere. Just like John Lennon,

40
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: This podcast sounds like nothing you've ever heard before because

41
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: you can't push the needle into the red without leaving

42
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: a little blood on the tracks. Listen to Blood on
