September 26, 2019 07:01 - 43 minutesN.W.A, the self proclaimed “most dangerous group in America,” were seen as violent, thuggish, profanity-spewing criminals, but they had nothing on those who were sworn to serve and protect them in South Central Los Angeles.

Frank Sinatra: Frankie Is the Reason...That the President's Dead
July 31, 2019 07:04 - 33 minutesFrank Sinatra had it all, then lost it all, then got it all back tenfold. He was a man of extreme talent, confidence and insecurity. And he had powerful and dangerous friends. He orchestrated some of the greatest music ever made. And he also orchestrated an alliance between two friends—mob boss Sam Giancana and John F. Kennedy—that would help the latter win the White House and, in the end, prove disastrous for Frank and the country. To see the full list of contributors, see the show notes at ...

Jim Morrison: Zodiac Killer Qu'est-ce Que C'est

Johnny Cash: Pills, More Pills and Playing With Fire
May 28, 2019 07:08 - 36 minutesJohnny Cash took no shit. Was a total original. Could maneuver that big baritone around a ballad or a rave up like nobody’s business.

Through it all, Johnny maintained his sense of empathy and his big heart. His story is unlike any other. Listen to Disgraceland to hear how Johnny Cash played with fire both figuratively and...
Amy Winehouse: Rehab, the Muse and a Rare Talent

XXXTentacion: Mellow Beats and Ultra Violence
April 30, 2019 07:06 - 44 minutesXXXTentacion was one of Generation Z’s most talented hip hop stars but his ascent was marked by violence and drama; beatdowns, beefs (what’s up, Drake?) and abuse.

XXXTentacion’s connection to his audience was (and still is even in death) unique and powerful. Their connection via social media-fue...

This is the story of the couple...

Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love Pt. 1: No Direction Home
March 14, 2019 07:01 - 43 minutesKurt Cobain is a celebrated and defiant icon of Generation X. His wife, Courtney Love, was once the most hated woman in America. Courtney, like Kurt, was unapologetic, fierce, determined, ambitious, authentic, and a total hypocrite. They were both totally in love and for a minute shined brighter than most. They challenged gender norms and the music industry patriarchy and reluctantly played the roles of their generation’s John and Yoko by way of Sid and Nancy all while making great music, but...
Spade Cooley: Jealousy, Torture, Murder
October 30, 2018 07:12 - 29 minutesSpade Cooley was one of Postwar America’s biggest celebrities and most talented musicians. He was also a violent drunk and homicidal psychopath with no heart. Mean, jealous, abusive, and almost totally driven by the deep-seated insecurity that he wasn’t good enough for any of the women who flocked to see him in concert, on television, and on the movie screen, Spade Cooley couldn’t bear the thought of his wife with another man so he he did the unthinkable—and what followed was, at the time, th...
Rick James: Superfreak Is an Understatement
October 23, 2018 07:11 - 36 minutesRick James may have been born into a life of crime, but he was determined to make his way in life through music. He intimidated George Clinton, inspired Prince, and more than likely saved Jim Morrison’s life. Rick James was rock ‘n roll’s Zelig. He was also sex-crazed, dangerous, and heavily addicted to crack cocaine. These three traits led to two separate arrests for the kidnapping and torture of two different women. Listen to this episode of Disgraceland to hear the tale of the one and only...
Big Lurch: Hip Hop Cannibal
October 16, 2018 07:10 - 31 minutesBig Lurch didn’t just rap about standard hip-hop culture; he rapped about serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer and horror movie villains like Freddy Krueger. In the process, he contributed to a sub-genre of hip-hop called “horrorcore." He also smoked way too much PCP – so much that he could not separate his horrorcore lyrics and the horror movies he watched from reality. The result? Unspeakable. Not just murder. Cannibalism.

Keith Moon: Rockstar Excess and a Dead Chauffeur
October 09, 2018 07:09 - 33 minutesKeith Moon of the Who was the prototype for rock drummers, both onstage and off. His drumming was wholly unique. Like his bandmates' behavior, it was violent, and like his personality, it was electric. Everyone loved Keith Moon aka “Moon The Loon” and it seemed that people never tired of his always hilarious and sometimes violent, drunken hijinks until one fateful night when a crew of British skinheads took issue with the drummer’s rockstar excess. The results were disastrous. To see the comp...

September 25, 2018 07:08 - 31 minutesMarvin Gaye was born into a God-fearing home to a sweet, wholesome mother and crossdressing, philandering, pentecostal preacher father who ruled his children with an iron fist.

August 14, 2018 07:05 - 31 minutesLots of country music stars wear the black hat but none of them wore it with more authenticity than Johnny Paycheck.

The Rolling Stones: Sleeping With the First Lady and Trafficking Heroin
May 01, 2018 07:07 - 30 minutesIn the 1970s, the world regarded the Rolling Stones as an insular band of hedonistic and glamorous pansexual junkies. But all of the trouble they’d stirred up during the ’60s and early ’70s would be dwarfed by the mess they would cause in Canada in 1977. Up until that point, the band’s money and collective luck had been enough to fend off destruction. But the scandal they embroiled themselves in touched the highest levels of government, and threatened to destroy the band and their as-yet inde...
Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes: Hit Me Again and I'll Burn Your House Down

Norwegian Black Metal: Satanic Rebellion, Murder and Worse
March 20, 2018 07:04 - 36 minutesNever has there been a more extreme form of musical rebellion than Norwegian Black Metal.
