  Why are conspiracy theories so seductive, and why do they thrive in music culture? In Part 2 of Music’s Great Conspiracy, we dive deep into the strangest, most persistent theories surrounding legendary artists and the forces some believe control the music industry. From claims that Jim Morrison, Elvis Presley, Tupac Shakur, and Michael Jackson faked their deaths, to musicians who are convinced UFOs are real...and that governments are covering it all up.

  Was Mozart murdered by a jealous rival? Did Robert Johnson really sell his soul at the crossroads? Was jazz secretly weaponized by the CIA? Punk rock invented by the KGB? This time on Uncharted, we dive headfirst into music’s most enduring, outrageous, and fascinating conspiracy theories. From ancient Rome to Cold War spycraft, from blues legends to gangsta rap, we break down why conspiracy thinking exists, how a kernel of truth can grow into a full-blown myth, and where the evidence actually leads. Some conspiracies collapse under scrutiny...others contain uncomfortable truths. All of them tell us something about power, culture, fear, and music’s role in shaping the world.

  Episode #67

  Updates, Resolutions, and Conclusions to Infamous Music Crimes | 67

  Jun 22, 202633 minS1

  We’ve been brought up on tv crime shows and police procedurals…in about 45 minutes, a crime is committed, evidence gathered, suspects identified and arrested, sent to trial and either convicted or acquitted. In real life, though, it doesn’t work that way. When we learn of a horrific crime, it occupies the news cycle for days, weeks, and even months as the case plays out…but then, inevitably, something else comes along, and we move on before the story of that crime is complete. Has the case gone cold?... Did anyone ever get arrested?...was there a conviction?... If so, what happened at the trial?... Did anyone go to jail?... And if someone is in prison, what’s their status? In short, was justice served?... Much of the time, we don’t know because no one ever follows up…and if they do, these new details get lost in the constant deluge of information that comes up every day. I’m ac, and this is episode 67 of “uncharted: crime and mayhem in the music industry”…and over the life of this show, we’ve talked about dozens of cases, most of which have been resolved…but some of these tales just keep on going. Time for some updates, resolutions, and conclusions to some very infamous crimes from the world of music. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
