Conspiracy 420 episode 89 Mark David Chapman second target David Bowie

RockerMike and Rob discuss Mark David Chapman second target David Bowie. Despite becoming eligible for parole in 2000 and given the right to appeal his sentence every two years, Mark Chapman remains behind bars for the murder of rock legend John Lennon, whom he shot dead at point-blank range in New York City in December 1980 (per Newsweek). Though the reasoning underpinning the parole board's decision-making process has not been made public, it is believed that the premeditated and callous nature of the killing plays a part in Chapman's ongoing imprisonment.

Honestly, no matter how thoroughly I prepare for an interview with a musician, I never can be totally certain of what might be revealed. I’ve been rattled more than once by a revelation from a musician for which there had been no previous report, but none more stunning than the one the late David Bowie gave me in 1999 when the recording  was turned off. According to Bowie, New York City police discovered that his name was next on a hit list of targets of John Lennon’s assassin, Mark David Chapman. At the time of Lennon’s December 8, 1980 murder outside of his Manhattan apartment, just blocks away David Bowie was starring  on Broadway in the play The Elephant Man. “I was second on his list, the detectives said”, Bowie told me in the New York studio we shared near Madison Square Garden.”Chapman had a front-row ticket to ‘ The Elephant Man‘ the next night. John and Yoko were supposed to sit front-row for that show, too. So the night after John was killed there were three empty seats in the front row. I can’t tell you how difficult that was to go on. I almost didn’t make it through the performance.”
