Ep. 109: Angie Moon Author of "Crime of The Century" Interview by Ricky Tucker

Ep. 109: Angie Moon Author of "Crime of The Century" Interview by Ricky Tucker Crime of the Century is a nonfiction book about classic rock’s connections to true crime. It’s not just a classic rock book or a true crime book, it’s both! The book is full of over 20 stories about how classic rockers met (or nearly met) murderers and attempted murderers and musicians who killed people. Some of these stories include ones connected to presidential assassinations like The Band playing at a nightclub owned by Jack Ruby, the man who killed JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, Manson Family member Squeaky Fromme (who tried to shoot President Ford) trying to meet Jimmy Page, and DEVO writing a song based on a poem written by John Hinckley, the man who tried to assassinate President Reagan. You can read stories about how classic rockers encountered some of the most notorious serial killers like The Kinks meeting John Wayne Gacy, The Beach Boys meeting Charles Manson, and Debbie Harry allegedly getting into Ted Bundy’s car in NYC. It’s not just an Americanocentric book, there are also stories about The Kinks and Spandau Ballet’s encounters with Britain’s most notorious gangsters, the Kray twins, and Led Zeppelin making a big mistake by hiring gangster turned actor John Bindon as their bodyguard for their 1977 US tour. Section two of the book talks about musicians who killed people like Little Willie John, Joe Meek, Rick Stevens, Jim Gordon, and Phil Spector. This isn’t just a classic rock book, this is classic rock storytelling!Angie Moon Links https://crazyonclassicrock.com/buy-crime-of-the-century/https://crazyonclassicrock.comhttps://www.instagram.com/angiemichellemoonCredits Stephen Bluhm Sound Engineer/ Editor⁠https://www.stephenbluhm.fun⁠Interview by Ricky Tuckerhttps://www.thewriterrickytucker.comRich WexlerProducer/Interviewer ⁠http://www.vintageannalsarchive.com/vintage-annals-archive---the-deep-dive-podcast.html⁠
