Okay, we are alive. Hi, this is William Ramsey. Welcome to William Ramsey investigates on today's show. I have a very special guest or returning guest. His name is David Wheelan. His last name is spelled W-H-E-L-A-N, and he just published the book. The Assassination of John Lennon. I bought the book. I talked to him in December 9, 2023. Today is January 12th, 2024. But I bought the book and I read it. And if you're

watching this on Rockman or Twitter or X or whatever they call it right now, you can see how many

pages I've leaked in this book. It's a very important book. I highly recommend people

check this out. And there's a lot of information that is not covered in other books, to my knowledge.

So people should listen to our early.

If you haven't listened to our earlier discussion in December, I recommend you do that.

But there's a lot we didn't cover in our last conversation.

But before we kind of get into some of these other themes, maybe the people around

Lenin and the law firms who are involved in prosecuting, so-called prosecuting Chapman,

and things like that. Before we get into that, I'm going to read into the record. I was just

talking to David in the pre-show about John Lennon and his lyrics and this kind of political activism and how powerful

his stuff was and there's really kind of actually relevant to today's time where we're just right

at the brink of like a global war or something some kind of catastrophic thing it's like well

pre it probably happened before World War I and world war two where people kind of

slept walk into it but i'm going to read working class heroes so this was in 1970 so i think you

wrote this 71 or 771 as soon as you're born they make you feel small by giving you no time

instead of it all till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all

A working class hero is something to be working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school

They hate if you're clever and they despise a fool

Till you're so effing crazy you can't follow their rules working class hero is something to be a working class hero is something to be. A working class hero is something to be.

When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years,
