It is very close to the minute, 28 years ago, that I first saw the scroll on the the screen. What was I watching? Monday Night Football, I guess. Then a couple of days later I took a stroll past the Dakota Building. My best way of saying, "I'm gonna miss you, John."
Bill... To the minute sounds about right. I recall Howard Cosell, in ever somber tones, breaking the news, news that was unbelievable. That began a cascade of phone calls that went on for at least an hour as siblings called, friends were called...

I Met the Walrus (approximately 5 minutes long)
Thirty-nine years ago, a 14-year-old named Jerry Levitan managed to talk his way into John Lennon's Toronto hotel room. Impressed by the kid's chutzpah, Lennon obliged him with a five-minute chat that covered war, peace, and the newly arrived Bee Gees.
Last year, Levitan teamed up with filmmaker Josh Raskin to make "I Met the Walrus" - a charming animated film that turns Lennon's thoughts into concrete images. The results are trippy but cogent, and no less interesting than what the Beatle had to say. Lennon himself would have loved it.
Me: LOL!!! She didn't even mean to make that pun, but it was excellent.
My mom and your mom would have gotten along great, I think, Alexandra!
My dear mom loved the Beatles. Maybe she is wishing John a happy 68th in heaven.
I miss both of them, more than I can say. And am so grateful to have had them in my life.
There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers There is no one compares with you And these memories lose their meaning When I think of love as something new Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection For people and things that went before I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more In my life I love you more
today. i will dress warm. it is crowded there past midnight. sing songs for hours and hours.
