From November 2020 and re-cut from a deleted Rock Under Fire episode. In the one and only time he addresses it in detail, Mike talks to Patrick Ivanitski about his book AUTUMN AND EVERYTHING AFTER: The Murder of John Lennon, Evolution of Bruce Springsteen & the Birth of the Reagan Era. The politics in the book that ruffled some feathers is discussed along with a focus on Lennon and Springsteen...two generations of artists both vilified by the conservative right...and the long-term consequences of the 1980 election and the seeds that inevitably grew into the current Trumpian war on democracy. AUTUMN is a story about rock and roll, murder, politics, war, and the cultural divide in America.
Mike Derrico has hosted the Rock Under Fire podcast with Patrick Ivanitski since 2016, has written two books (THE LOCKER NOTES, AUTUMN & EVERYTHING AFTER: The Murder of John Lennon, Evolution of Bruce Springsteen & the Birth of the Reagan Era) and has contributed to publications such as Please Kill Me and NJArts.net.
