Episode Details

Headline caught your attention? Not to worry, this is not click bait

Listen as well reveal how John Lennon's crafty song nicking skills got him in trouble, once again! But this time 'round it's not the LSD toting Dr. Timothy Leary he's pissed off. Or Chuck Berry. 

But wait!

The FUN doesn't stop there...

Join us in this episode as we shed some light on circumstances surrounding America's racist conspiracy to wipe out Rock N Roll altogether in the 1950s.

Elvis got taken out of the game, drafted into the Army.

Chuck Berry got arrested.

Eddie Cochrane dies in a suspicious car incident in England.

Carl Perkins is put out of commission in another suspicious car incident on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Allan Freed, the man responsible for not only giving Rock N Roll its name but also spreading its gospel to the youth of America through the very first rock concerts ever and his nationally syndicated radio show, GETS BUSTED and dies penniless shortly thereafter.

17 year old Latino Tex/Mex heartthrob rock n roller Ritchie Valens. Dead. Airplane crash.

22 year old Buddy Holly, without whom, the world would never have had The Beatles. Dead. Airplane crash.

28 year old The Big Bopper, the veteran of the bunch, riding high in the charts, Top 10 in America with Chantilly Lace. Dead. Airplane crash.

22 year old Jerry Lee Lewis, scorned for singing the Devil's praise with Great Balls of Fire, CANCELLED in sex scandal.

Sam Cooke. Singer, songwriter, record producer, arranger, music publisher, record label owner and soon to be casino owner. Shot dead under extremely suspicious circumstances involving two individuals with previous links to crime.

Most suspicious of all? Flamboyant and openly gay, African American Little Richard, at the very height of his creative powers and earning potential, quits music altogether, turning his life over to God and the Ministry.  

BUT WAIT!!!!!!!

There's still MORE!

...and that's not the half of it.
