Laurie Kaye is the last-ever reporter to interview John Lennon before his assassination. In fact, she was with John and Yoko just hours before his death. She’s on the podcast to talk about that fateful day and her book Confessions of a Rock 'n' Roll Name-Dropper: My Life Leading up to John Lennon's Last Interview.
Kaye is a writer and producer, and this book is her long-awaited memoir. In it, we read about Kaye's music-related early life wrapped around that day in December 1980 which Kaye spent with John Lennon and Yoko Ono at the legendary Dakota apartment building on Manhattan's Upper West Side. On December 8, 1980, while working for RKO Radio, Kaye, a then twenty-something rock journalist, co-conducted an interview with her longtime idol, John Lennon. It was to become Lennon's final interview on what tragically turned out to be his last day on the planet. That evening, John Lennon was gunned down by a man Kaye had encountered just hours before.
