Episode description
He was one of the most famous men on the planet. He had just staged a comeback. And on an ordinary Monday night in New York, everything changed.
This week on History in High Heels, we examine the rise of The Beatles, Lennon’s role as the voice of a generation, and the psychology of Mark David Chapman, the man who believed his identity would be “found in the killing of John Lennon.”
A story of fame, vulnerability, and the chilling ordinariness of violence.
