This week our true crime podcast celebrates last week’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction by looking at some criminals of the music world.

If you are looking for our usual first half stories, remember we now do a daily true crime news post every morning (US Eastern Time). All our first half stories are pulled from our daily posts for the previous week, so bookmark us and check in daily for the up to date true crime news.

For our Rock and Roll Hall of Shame podcast we pick three diverse, yet equally appalling criminal rock and rollers.

First up is the DJ, host of Top of the Pops on BBC TV and all around beloved celebrity Jimmy Savile, who had a not so well disguised taste for young girls.

Nothing creepy here.

With some of his dancers on Top of the Pops.

With Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. He also received the OBE.

This elaborate headstone originally adorned his gravesite. After growing allegations came to light his family had it removed and destroyed. Click the photo to read the original story from Sky News.

GG Allin roams the streets of New York City naked, after the plug was pulled on his final performance.

Allin on stage, unlike other acts, that’s really his blood.

Allin in Casket. Note bottle of Jim Beam Bourbon as well as microphone and CDs. His headstone draws all sorts of wild antics, including people who openly urinate and defecate on it. Much to the anger of other people with family members buried there.

You want more? Well we don’t want to leave our listeners in a lurch….or perhaps we do, perhaps we want to leave them in a Big Lurch. Yes we have the story of Big Lurch, the wrapper who killed, and partially ate, his girlfriend….or did he? (Of course he did, but we did find some people claiming he was framed).

Big Lurch’s only CD release.

Lurch’s victim. We’ve all eaten our girlfriends, but not like this.

Here and below are photos of Lurch at the time of his arrest.
