  • Summary

  • The world of rock’n’roll can be very, very strange…it’s loaded with strange creatures: performers, managers, fans, and various hangers-on…people get into the scene because there are (allegedly) no rules and rebellious bad behaviour isn’t just tolerated, it’s encouraged… There’s a sense in many quarters that anything goes and that the conventions of society and the law just seem to don’t apply…if you don’t participate, you don’t belong…you’re viewed with suspicion or distain…if that’s the case, you’re excluded… And let’s be honest: artists can be different…they are not like you and me… It’s not an insult to say artists are often wired in unusual ways, which is the thing that makes them artists…they think different, feel different, and as a result often act different that your basic civilian… Add in alcohol, drugs, and other mind-altering things and you end up with bizarre situations that end up attracting the attention of law enforcement and the courts… Many are minor indiscretions…misdemeanours that result in a warning and maybe a fine…but some of these actions and activities are extremely serious…they involve property damage, bodily injury—or worse… These are occasions where music, rock culture, fame, rebellion, and chaos get all mixed together with dangerous and sometimes deadly results… This is Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry, episode 32…and this time, we’re going to go through a list of some of the most bizarre music-related crimes in history… Learn more about your ad choices.
