Specificatii
A top crime journalist reveals precisely how the world-shattering
murder of John Lennon happened--and why In Let Me Take You Down,
Jack Jones penetrates the borderline world of dangerous fantasy in
which Mark David Chapman stalked and killed Lennon: Mark David
Chapman rose early on the morning of December 8 to make final
preparations. . . . Chapman had neatly arranged and left behind a
curious assortment of personal items on top of the hotel dresser.
In an orderly semicircle, he had laid out his passport, an
eight-track tape of the music of Todd Rundgren, his little Bible,
open to The Gospel According to John (Lennon). He left a letter
from a former YMCA supervisor at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas, where five
years earlier, he had worked with refugees from the Vietnam War.
Beside the letter were two photographs of himself surrounded by
laughing Vietnamese children. At the center of the arrangement of
personal effects, he had placed the small Wizard of Oz poster of
Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion. I woke up knowing, somehow, that
when I left that room, that was the last time I would see the room
again, Chapman recalled. I truly felt it in my bones. I don't know
how. I had never seen John Lennon up to that point. I only knew
that he was in the Dakota. But I somehow knew that it was it, this
was the day. So I laid out on the dresser at the hotel room . . .
just a tableau of everything that was important in my life. So it
would say, 'Look, this is me. Probably, this is the real me. This
is my past and I'm going, gone to another place.' I practiced what
it was going to look like when police officers came into the room.
It was like I was going through a door and I knew I was going to go
through a door, the poet's door, William Blake's door, Jim
Morrison's door. . . . I was leaving what I was, going into a
future of uncertainty. Praise for Let Me Take You Down Jack Jones
has written a beautiful book, rare in its attention to the social
context giving rise to stalkers and assassins of celebrities . . .
celebrity worship is ambivalent--admiration shares the altar with
envy. When the worshipped disappoints, a 'nobody' can become a
'somebody' by killing the pop culture idol. Let Me Take You Down is
both fascinating and brilliant.--Ladd Wheeler, Professor of
Psychology, University of Rochester, Former President of the
Society for Personality and Social Psychology
