Our man Burt Kearns has gotten to the bottom of a fifty-five year-old rock ’n’ roll urban legend with an eyewitness account of the brawl between John Lennon and Chris Montez in March 1963.
That story is Burt's latest exclusive on the literary rock website PleaseKillMe.com. The story focuses on an incident tduring a British concert tour on which Chris and Tommy Roe headlined with the Beatles as their opening act! It includes testimony from Chris and Tommy, and a cameo from Andrew Loog Oldham, who was a publicist on the tour and went on to produce The Rolling Stones.The story is culled from Burt's long-in-the-works documentary project, El Viaje Musical de Ezekiel Montanez: the Chris Montez Stoy, and includes exclusive video!
