Confessions of a Rock N Roll Name Dropper
Rock reporter Laurie Kaye interviewed John Lennon just hours before he was murdered n 1980 outside New York's famous Dakota apartments and even ran into assassin Mark David Chapman (whom she refuses to cite by name) on the street outside, and here she recounts the story of that fateful night, the centerpiece of this memoir about the life of a SoCal girl with a troubled childhood who got to live out her dream by interviewing many of the most famous rock stars of the time.

It was the last interview Lennon would ever give--just hours later, outside that same building, Lennon was shot dead by a twenty-five-year-old man (whom Kaye refuses to refer to by name) whom Kaye herself had encountered after finishing the interview and stepping outside onto the street.

"Did you get his autograph?"--posed a danger and should have been reported. Now, as we approac
