About this episode

Jim Harold and Richard Syrett discuss the strange stories and mysteries surrounding rock and roll music.

Rock and roll has always had a shadow side, and Richard Syrett joins Jim to explore some of its strangest stories from his new book, Tales from the Rock and Roll Twilight Zone. From the roots of blues folklore and Robert Johnson’s legendary crossroads tale to theories about the Beatles, “Paul is Dead,” and the eerie staying power of rock’s greatest mysteries, Richard looks at why music history seems to attract so many strange rumors, unsettling coincidences, and unanswered questions. Jim and Richard also dig into the 27 Club, the tragic plane crash that changed Lynyrd Skynyrd forever, the mysteries surrounding Elvis Presley’s final days, and the suspicious circumstances some have associated with the death of Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones. It is a wide-ranging conversation about fame, myth, tragedy, conspiracy, and the powerful hold these stories still have on music fans decades later.
