What do J.D. Salinger’s Catcher in the Rye and the Holy Bible have in common? They both contain explicit instructions to kill John Lennon—or at least, according to Mark David Chapman, they do. And guess what? Chapman’s been up to some stuff since that fateful day in 1980 when he snuffed out the life of the quote-unquote “Smart” Beatle. In this episode, the boys find out exactly what the fame-hungry murderer has been up to since our original coverage of him in Episode 315 on the Last Podcast on the Left—which includes being denied parole a grand total of THIRTEEN TIMES. Maybe he should’ve given peace a chance, huh?
