WATCH AND/OR LISTEN: Booked on Rock Podcast host Eric Senich is a big fan of my book, and digs describing it and my life story! As he says, "Laurie Kaye is the last-ever reporter to interview John Lennon before his assassination...and this book is her long awaited memoir! In it, we read about her music-related life wrapped around that day which she spent with John and Yoko at the Dakota..that evening, John Lennon was gunned down by a man Kaye had encountered just hours before."
In the video episode of our podcast, Eric includes plenty of pictures taken with me and rockstars, friends and family too!
