Disgraceland is a production of Double Elvis.

The stories about Grace Jones are fascinating.

She was a true crime magnate, arrested, set up, invaded.

She was a global superstar, an actor, model, and multi-hyphenate icon of the 1980s,

as big in attention-grabbing as Max Headroom and New Coke, and she, of course,

made great music. Unlike that music I played for you at the top of the show, that wasn't great

music. That was a preset loop for my Melotron, called New Kind of Bond Girl, MK1.

I played you that loop because I can't afford the rights to The Look by Roxette.

And why would I play you that specific slice of platinum flat-topped cheese could I afford it?

Because that was the number one song in America on April 8th, 1989.

And that was the day Grace Jones was arrested and thrown into a Jamaican jail cell,

where she feared that her incredible life up to this point might be coming to a quick end.

On this episode, an arrest, a setup, a home invasion, and 80s icon and true crime

magnet, Grace Jones.

I'm Jake Brennan, and this is disgrace land.

Thank you. and this is disgrace land. April 1st, 1989, Stony Hill, Jamaica.

40-year-old Grace Jones was hearing voices.

Too many to count and too muffled to know their true purpose.
