Confessions of a Rock 'n' Roll Name-Dropper: My Life Leading Up to John Lennon's Last Interview is my memoir, the story of my rock radio-related early life and career wrapped around John Lennon’s final interview which I co-conducted for RKO Radio at the Dakota in New York back on December 8, 1980 mere hours before he was shot and killed! I also wrote the incredibly well-received 3 hour RKO special that aired a mere 6 days after John’s assassination: John Lennon - The Man, The Memory, as well as the 14 hour RKO Presents The Beatles - the longest Fab Four radio special ever created for the U.S.! It was internationally syndicated shortly afterwards  and we expanded it to 17 hours and changed the title to the original one I’d come up with - The Beatles From Liverpool to Legend! It was especially popular in the UK !
