The Rock & Roll Twilight Zone with Richard Syrett

Aleister Crowley

Did Jimmy Page's fascination with the occult, and magick lead to the string of accidents, addictions, and tragedies that befell Led Zeppelin in the mid to late 1970s?  Richard interviews a dedicated occultist and founder of a Pagan Temple in London, Ontario and two authors who have researched Jimmy Page's strong interest in the teachings of Aleister Crowley, the most influential and notorious occultist of the 19th and 20th centuries. Guests:   Most Honoured Frater Archeus is the founder and current Magister of the Order of the Temple of Archallem (OTA), a practicing ceremonial lodge and initiatory society located in London, Ontario.  He was also a founding member of The London Pagan Temple and has chaired several significant Pagan conventions. A practicing magician as well as a dedicated occultist, Fr. Archeus has written and contributed to rituals in various traditions and capacities. He was initiated into the craft on the full moon of Friday, October 13, 2000. Peter Bebergal is the author of Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll . He writes widely on music and books, with special emphasis on the speculative and slightly fringe. His recent essays and reviews have appeared in The New Yorker online, Slate, The Times Literary Supplement, The Quietus, BoingBoing, and The Believer. Bebergal studied religion and culture at Harvard Divinity School, and lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Lance Gilbert is a writer of  paranormal &amp; occult fiction and nonfiction. Following a series of ghostly experiences in his early twenties, he became fascinated with exploring supernatural phenomena. Very soon thereafter, Lance experimented with an ancient spirit evocation book which resulted in frightening poltergeist intrusions. This led to further investigation and the eventual publishing of two well-reviewed, commercially successful books based on his personal experiences as well as those of others he met through research. Both books were written under pseudonyms and now Lance has decided to publish using his real name. His latest project is titled The Led Zeppelin Curse- Jimmy Page and the Haunted Boleskine House.

The Beatles, Manson and the Summer of Helter Skelter

It's the most enduring legend in Rock 'n Roll history... Paul McCartney was killed in a car accident in November 1966.  But instead of announcing Paul's death, the Beatles' brain-trust covered it up and secretly replaced Paul with a talented look-alike.  Perhaps motivated by feelings of remorse, the surviving Beatles decided to reveal this dark secret to their fans through a series of clues left in song lyrics and album cover art. Richard speaks with a documentary filmmaker, the curator of a touring Beatles exhibit and a Rock historian about how the legend got started, and why it continues to endure to this day. James Cushman is a  native of Middleboro, Massachussettes.  Jim  has an extensive Beatles collection that includes a pair of John Lennon’s long johns , a locket of Paul McCartney’s hair, Ringo Starr’s drumsticks and a t-shirt that belonged to George Harrison.  Jim also owns the copy of Double Fantasy that Lennon signed for Mark David Chapman just hours before his murder.  Jim is a curator with The Magical History Tour, a touring Beatles memorabilia exhibit.  A walking encyclopedia of Beatles facts and dates, Cushman and his collection have been featured on national and international television as well as various publications. Mitch Fillion is Toronto-based filmmaker behind the documentary, Who Is This Now? A Paul is Dead Film. He did it with virtually no budget — less than $5,000. He wrote, directed, edited, and acted in them himself. The trilogy explores fringe theories related to hidden knowledge, expanding human consciousness, and other assorted esoterica. Fillion calls his films “disguised documentaries.” They take place in a slightly altered version of reality. He plays an exaggerated version of himself.  R. Gary Patterson was known as 'the Fox Mulder of Rock.'  HIs book, The Walrus Was Paul: The Great Beatles Death Clues  published in 1994 established Gary as one of the world's foremost experts on The Beatles and 'The Paul is Dead' hoax.

Paul is Dead

Did Kurt Cobain, lead singer of Nirvana, really commit suicide, or was he murdered? A Seattle-based independent investigative journalist who was the first to suggest homicide; the co-author of two books alleging Cobain was murdered; and a music correspondent/PR consultant sift through the evidence. GUESTS: Richard Lee is the creator of Now See It Person to Person: Kurt Cobain Was Murdered, his cable TV documentary on this homicide and related aspects of Seattle politics and policing. Lee visited the Cobain residence location on the day his body was discovered, and aired his first program only five days later, originally titling the programs “Was Kurt Cobain Murdered?”  Lee began his efforts as a television journalist with a weekly series on Seattle politics and crime in 1993, Now See It Person to Person, which he then slightly re-tooled to focus on the Cobain homicide. This series of more than 600 editions is still seen locally in archival and new editions, and is becoming more widely seen online. With his website that began in 1995, Lee is something of an internet pioneer, probably the first American journalist to launch an independent investigative website of longstanding status. He is currently pursing appeals in a lawsuit that seeks to gain release of over 50 photographs from the Cobain crime scene and related documents, which he says will prove that the official investigation was fraudulent. Max Wallace is a recipient of Rolling Stone magazine¹s Award for Investigative Journalism; he is also a documentary filmmaker. In 1998, he coauthored the international bestseller Who Killed Kurt Cobain? with Ian Halperin. In 2005 Wallace and Halperin co-authored Love and Death: The Murder of Kurt Cobain. He is also the author of Muhammad Ali¹s Greatest Fight: Cassius Clay vs. the United States of America, and The American Axis: Ford, Lindbergh, and the Rise of the Third Reich. His first documentary film, Too Colorful for the League, was nominated for a Gemini Award (Canada¹s equivalent of an Emmy). Max has been a guest columnist for the Sunday New York Times, and contributed to the BBC. Eric Alper is the founder of Eric Alper PR firm after being the Director of Media Relations and Label Relations for eOne Music Canada for 18 years. Eric has been named to Billboard Magazine, Paste Magazine and The National Post's best on social media. He has over a million followers on Twitter and  over 20,000 fans on Facebook while ThatEricAlper now receives over 125,000 hits a week.  Past and current clients on the PR side include Bob Geldof, Judy Collins, Randy Bachman, The Cult, Merle Haggard, John Prine, Ringo Starr, Slash, The Wiggles, Bush, Steve Earle, Snoop Dogg, The Smashing Pumpkins, Ray Charles, Little Steven, Sinead O'Connor, Sesame Street among hundreds of others over his 20 years in the music industry.

Owsley Acid, The Dead and The CIA

Part Two of a two-part series. Did Kurt Cobain, lead singer of Nirvana, really commit suicide, or was he murdered? A Seattle-based independent investigative journalist who was the first to suggest homicide; the co-author of two books alleging Cobain was murdered; and a music correspondent/PR consultant sift through the evidence. GUESTS: Richard Lee is the creator of Now See It Person to Person: Kurt Cobain Was Murdered, his cable TV documentary on this homicide and related aspects of Seattle politics and policing. Lee visited the Cobain residence location on the day his body was discovered, and aired his first program only five days later, originally titling the programs “Was Kurt Cobain Murdered?”  Lee began his efforts as a television journalist with a weekly series on Seattle politics and crime in 1993, Now See It Person to Person, which he then slightly re-tooled to focus on the Cobain homicide. This series of more than 600 editions is still seen locally in archival and new editions, and is becoming more widely seen online. With his website that began in 1995, Lee is something of an internet pioneer, probably the first American journalist to launch an independent investigative website of longstanding status. He is currently pursing appeals in a lawsuit that seeks to gain release of over 50 photographs from the Cobain crime scene and related documents, which he says will prove that the official investigation was fraudulent. Max Wallace is a recipient of Rolling Stone magazine¹s Award for Investigative Journalism; he is also a documentary filmmaker. In 1998, he coauthored the international bestseller Who Killed Kurt Cobain? with Ian Halperin. In 2005 Wallace and Halperin co-authored Love and Death: The Murder of Kurt Cobain. He is also the author of Muhammad Ali¹s Greatest Fight: Cassius Clay vs. the United States of America, and The American Axis: Ford, Lindbergh, and the Rise of the Third Reich. His first documentary film, Too Colorful for the League, was nominated for a Gemini Award (Canada¹s equivalent of an Emmy). Max has been a guest columnist for the Sunday New York Times, and contributed to the BBC. Eric Alper is the founder of Eric Alper PR firm after being the Director of Media Relations and Label Relations for eOne Music Canada for 18 years. Eric has been named to Billboard Magazine, Paste Magazine and The National Post's best on social media. He has over a million followers on Twitter and  over 20,000 fans on Facebook while ThatEricAlper now receives over 125,000 hits a week.  Past and current clients on the PR side include Bob Geldof, Judy Collins, Randy Bachman, The Cult, Merle Haggard, John Prine, Ringo Starr, Slash, The Wiggles, Bush, Steve Earle, Snoop Dogg, The Smashing Pumpkins, Ray Charles, Little Steven, Sinead O'Connor, Sesame Street among hundreds of others over his 20 years in the music industry.

Was Michael Jackson Murdered?

In Part One of a Two-Part Series, Richard is joined by two authors who reveal startling evidence that Elvis Presley may have been murdered.  Although the official cause of Presley's death was ruled a heart attack, it has long been assumed the King died from an overdose of prescription drugs.  Forensic evidence, the findings of two toxicology studies and the testimony of two members of the autopsy team that examined Presley's body refute both of those scenarios.  Once natural death and accidental overdose are ruled out, that leaves one other possibiliity...murder.
