May Pang joins the show to discuss John Lennon’s “Lost Weekend” era (1973–1975), a wildly creative period that produced Walls and Bridges and Rock 'n' Roll. She shares personal stories about life with Lennon in New York, reuniting him with Julian and Cynthia, and even the night they spotted a UFO over Manhattan. We also talk about her photo exhibition, “The Lost Weekend – The Photography of May Pang,” happening February 24–25 at the Mimms Museum of Technology & Art in Roswell, GA (free admission, May in attendance).

Steven Penley is a Georgia-based contemporary artist best known for his bold, high-energy portraits that blend pop culture punch with classic Americana. Working primarily in acrylics, Penley’s signature style features thick, expressive brushstrokes, vivid color, and a “bigger than life” attitude—often turning iconic figures into instantly recognizable, gallery-ready statements.His work spans celebrity and historical portraits, sports legends, and patriotic themes, with subjects ranging from entertainers and musicians to presidents and cultural heroes. Penley’s paintings have become especially popular throughout the Southeast, where his art is collected by fans who love its mix of modern edge and traditional American spirit.Whether he’s capturing a famous face or reimagining an American symbol, Penley’s goal is the same: create art that feels loud, alive, and impossible to ignore.Website: https://www.penleyartco.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stevepenley/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PenleyArt
