Presenting DISGRACELAND - Bobby Brown: Cocaine Chicken, Horny Ghosts, and His Prerogative 39:38

17d ago39:38

39:38

Bobby Brown thrusted and gyrated his way to the top of the charts with Don’t Be Cruel, one of the biggest records of the late 1980s and an album that brought hip-hop’s hard-knock sensibilities to R&B. But fame did not change the Boston bad boy. At the height of his superstardom, Bobby Brown was arrested onstage for violating a lewd act law. He clai…

24d ago40:19

40:19

This is not the O.J. Simpson story you were expecting. This is the story of what happened after the former running back was acquitted of the murder of his ex-wife and her friend. It’s an insane story that involves sports memorabilia, ex-cons, a gun, a simple plan gone horribly wrong, and one of the most unbelievable armed robberies in Las Vegas’s s…

Presenting DISGRACELAND - Jose Canseco: SWAT Teams, Smuggled Drugs, and 'Roid Rage 40:59

1M ago40:59

40:59

Jose Canseco was a big league slugger who gave the people what they wanted. Not just massive home runs and a whole lot of stolen bases. He provided entertainment. And his audience, not just baseball fans but the world, ate it up. The private encounter with Madonna in her apartment that nearly cost him a spot on the roster. The obsession with perfor…

Presenting DISGRACELAND - R. Kelly: Superstars, Super Predators, and a 20-Year Reign of Sexual Terror 39:44

1M ago39:44

39:44

R. Kelly openly groomed teenage victims while on trial for child pornography – a trial based on sex tapes that were once sold at Tower Records. He wrote a song designed to help Michael Jackson turn attention away from his own troubling allegations, and he wrote that song while he was illegally married to a 15-year old. That marriage eventually brou…

Presenting DISGRACELAND - William S. Burroughs: Obscenity, a Decapitated Mouse, and the Deadly William Tell Routine 41:57

2M ago41:57

41:57

William S. Burroughs was a literary icon whose novel Naked Lunch, one of the signature works of the Beat Generation, was banned and went on trial for obscenity. His writing inspired generations of musicians, from the Rolling Stones and Patti Smith to Nirvana and Sonic Youth. But long before all that, in 1951, when he was an unknown and mostly faile…

Presenting DISGRACELAND - Kobe Bryant: The Black Mamba's Revenge 41:36

3M ago41:36

41:36

He was a professional killer. A warrior trained from birth. A member of the deadliest squad of assassins in The Association. But that was before he tried to go solo. And before they tried to kill him. They made one mistake though – they didn’t finish the job. Now the Black Mamba is back and he won’t stop until he’s got his hands on the ultimate pri…

4M ago39:18

39:18

Hustling on the streets of New York. Wagering with a U.S. president over who could sleep with more women. Knocking back beers with Elvis. Waving his gun around at the funeral of Jay Sebring, one of the victims of Charles Manson’s murderous family. The same family that had their sights now set on the King of Cool, Steve McQueen, who needed the speed…

Presenting DISGRACELAND: Anthony Bourdain: Junk, Romance, and a Lust for Life 59:40

5M ago59:40

59:40

Anthony Bourdain had a lust for life. He went all in on adventure, indulgence, food, romance – including the romance of a heroin addiction that he chased through the restaurant kitchens and grimy rock clubs of 1980s Manhattan. For years he was a struggling cook and writer, but his first book, published when he was 43 years old, was an overnight suc…

Presenting Disgraceland - Derek and the Dominos: Clapton, Cocaine, Motorcycles, and Murder 40:27

7M ago40:27

40:27

In 1960s London, for young guitar enthusiasts, believing that “Clapton is God” was practically the 11th Commandment. In 1970 he lent his big, sticky tone to yet another band: Derek and the Dominos. The group’s white-hot blues burned bright for barely more than a year, but their impact was massive. Guided by drug, alcohol and heartbreak free-fall, E…

7M ago38:57

38:57

Mariah Carey once lived under constant surveillance in her own home. Her husband planted cameras and recording devices around their prison-like mansion to watch her every move.

U2: Death Threats, a Song that Inspired a Killer, and the Murder of Rebecca Schaeffer 41:35

8M ago41:35

41:35

Years before a free album made them the most unpopular popular band on the planet, U2 ran into the arms of America. In 1987, touring behind their blockbuster album The Joshua Tree, their songs became lightning rods for violence. They received death threats in the States and became targets of terrorists back in their native Ireland. But it was the s…
