In this episode, we discuss the rollercoaster ride that is the life of amateur hour assassin Mark David Chapman. This thrill ride starts with the excitement of Mark discovering and repeatedly playing his first Beatles album for his kingdom of imaginary “Little People”. Then soars to an all new “high” as Mark reaches adolescence and tries to make friends with the local church kids by bringing them gifts of gold, frankincense, and…..acid. Surely Mark was not counted as a wise young man. Finally, the ride concludes with the abysmal drop of Chapman eliminating the posterchild for peace and love, John Lennon, and devoiding us of a world where all you need is love.
