Did you know that the last time Paul McCartney saw John Lennon was April 24, 1976? McCartney was visiting Lennon at his New York apartment. They were watching Saturday Night Live (SNL) together when SNL producer Lorne Michaels, as a gag, offered the Beatles $3,000 to come on the show. Lennon and McCartney almost took a cab to the show as a joke, but decided against it, as they were just too tired.
Want to know more about John Lennon of The Beatles? Then listen to “Blood on the Tracks: The John Lennon Story." The podcast will take a deep dive into the story of John Lennon’s 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’s 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 “The Lost Weekend,” 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, “Disgraceland,” 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’ve heard before. Because you can’t push the needle into the red without leaving a little blood on the tracks. The podcast will also feature fictionalized voices of Jerry
Rubin, Yoko Ono, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, John Sinclair, Paul
McCartney, Chuck Berry and many more.

The narrative arc of this season will culminate in a truly transgressive way: first with an episode told from the POV of Lennon’s 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.

Subsequent episodes of the 10-episode series will be released every week on Thursdays on iHeartRadio and everywhere podcasts are heard.
