105 -- Prison Bound: Artists Who Did Hard Time
Manage episode 503407898 series 3002419
The world of music is full of interesting characters, and some of them are unfortunately bad people. In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we’re following our namesake by talking about musicians who did time in prison.
We have a long list of artists from different genres who spent some time behind bars, and we’re going to talk about them, their crimes, and the music they made.
We’ve got stories like Lead Belly being discovered while in prison for attempted murder, to Jelly Roll turning his life around after his daughter was born while he was serving time. The singer for Lamb of God was charged with killing a fan. Ike Turner missed his rock and roll hall of fame induction because he was behind bars. Lil Kim chose prison over snitchin’, and some of the Norwegian death metal dudes are crazy.
We’ve got all of their stories and a lot more in this wild episode, so let’s hit it.
