Good is What Makes You Feel Well
Laurie Kaye on Love, Loss, and Lennon - When Music Heals

Today’s guest is someone whose life and career are deeply intertwined with the heartbeat of rock and roll history. Laurie Kaye is a legendary music journalist and producer whose voice was once heard across the nation on iconic stations like KFRC in San Francisco, and whose writing helped shape landmark radio specials—including The Beatles: From Liverpool to Legend. But Laurie isn’t just a chronicler of music history—she’s a witness to one of its most tragic moments. On December 8, 1980, she sat down with John Lennon and Yoko Ono for what would be John’s final interview—just hours before his death. That experience, and the haunting encounter she had immediately afterward with Lennon’s assassin, shaped the course of her life. Laurie tells that story in her powerful memoir, Confessions of a Rock ’n’ Roll Name-Dropper, where she shares not just the names, but the soul of the music and artists who saved her—and in turn, how music can truly save lives. In today’s conversation, we delve into the healing power of music, the significance of storytelling, and what it means to bear both the joy and weight of being part of history.
