WHAT:
|
鈥: The John Lennon Story鈥 will take a deep dive into the story of John Lennon鈥檚 post-Beatles years in the turbulent, political, and violent 1970s, told from the perspective of those who knew him best. The season will delve deep into Lennon鈥檚 ties with political revolutionaries, the demonization of his character by the FBI and President Nixon, the curdling of his relationship with former songwriting partner Paul McCartney, the 18-month period of debauchery in Los Angeles known as 鈥淭he Lost Weekend,鈥 and his untimely assassination at the age of 40. Part true crime, part historical fiction, part spoken word lo-fi beat noir brought to you by Jake Brennan, the host of the award-winning music and true crime podcast, 鈥淒isgraceland,鈥 the series will feature the fictionalized voices of Ringo Starr, Harry Nilsson, Richard Nixon, and Mark David Chapman. Just like John Lennon, this podcast sounds like nothing you鈥檝e heard before. Because you can鈥檛 push the needle into the red without leaving a little blood on the tracks. The narrative arc of this season will culminate in a truly transgressive way: first with an episode told from the POV of Lennon鈥檚 deranged assassin, and finally with an episode told from the POV of Holden Caulfield, a fictional character come to life who condemns the phoniness of Mark David Chapman and constructs a magically realistic portrait of Lennon existing in the 1980s. |
