Champion MMA Fighter/ Beatles Controversy

First half: Before Frank Shamrock became known professionally as ‘’The Legend’’—winning almost every mixed martial arts title in existence—he endured a childhood marred with abuse, neglect, and molestation that led to an equally troubled young adulthood. Shamrock joins George Knapp to discuss how his neglect as a child by his hippie mother and absentee father, his desperate act of armed robbery and subsequent incarceration in prison, eventually gave birth to fighter who would go on to dominate the sport for the next two decades.

Second half: Beatles expert, Chuck Gunderson, will discuss the 50th Anniversary of their ground breaking album Revolver and the group's last live performance on August 29, 1966, at Candlestick Park. Gunderson will shed light on the controversy surrounding John Lennon's ‘’Bigger than Jesus’’ statement which had the Klan following the band around the south while city councils passed resolutions to ban the Beatles as the group slogged its way around the country playing to half-empty stadiums.

I have to confess, that I was absolutely sure that I would never, ever, be interested in the MMA /UFC or Frank Shamrock, Hur-rump!

I had to be up late and it was on. I have to say it was one of the best non- ufo shows I have ever listened to! George was excellent and I would buy "A Bridge" from Mr. Shamrock any day!
