Glass Onion: On John Lennon

I'm joined by Dr. Kirk Honda and Humberto Castañeda of the 'Psychology In Seattle' podcast to talk about the inordinately complex psychology of John Lennon. We touch on some of his darker sides and where some of his behaviour may have come from internally, as well as discussing fame and the relationship between the star and the public.

I also gave an inpromptu mini-concert and we had some 'after chat' about JFK and other 'dark web' topics. The artwork on the home page is by Warren.
