Everyone knows John Lennon was murdered outside the Dakota on December 8, 1980. Far fewer know just how strange and unsettling the full story really is.
In this episode of Tape Spaghetti, Scott and Blake trace the events leading up to one of music's darkest days, exploring Mark David Chapman's obsession with The Catcher in the Rye, the bizarre patterns and coincidences he believed were shaping his destiny, and the psychological unraveling that culminated in a global tragedy.
Along the way, they revisit Lennon's quieter post-Beatles life in New York, the creation of Double Fantasy, the haunting autograph Lennon signed for Chapman just hours before the shooting, and the ripple effects that followed around the world.
