Reagan’s wannabe assassin John Hinckley sells New York musical show

John Hinkley — the man who tried to kill Ronald Reagan once upon a time – has turned a new leaf in the music world… and looks like he can put some asses in the seats.

The would-be former presidential assassin – who shot Reagan in 1981 but was later acquitted of insanity – has an upcoming performance in Brooklyn this summer that has apparently sold out tickets…that depending on the venue itself.

The place is called the Market Hotel, and according to their website … there are no more seats available for Hinckley’s show on July 8, where he is booked to play guitar and sing a few songs.

Ticket prices were $20 a pop before they were all snapped up – and BTW this place has a somewhat decent capacity… 450 people can fill the joint, so you gotta imagine at least a few hundred heads are going to watch at show time.

Hinckley has been fully into this singing occupation ever since he took advantage of his unconditional release earlier this year…this sequel emerged from a Virginia psychiatric ward in 2016 and has fought for less and less supervision over the years.

The guy has around 26,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel…and he’s also written/performed a handful of original songs while strumming his instrument.

Here’s another wild side to this… Hinckley says he’s started a record label in the past few months, which he calls Emporia Records. The first release, he explains, will be a 14-track CD of his own original songs plus covers.
