...John Lennon was assassinated?

The thing that I find especially hard to process is that he has now been gone for two more years than he was here.

Also, that both of his sons have now got to greater ages than their father reached.

Life can be so unfair...

Oh, if I'd only known
Ah, what your heart cost
Oh, can we call it a loan?
And a debt that I owe
On a bet that I lost -- "Call It a Loan" (Jackson Browne & David Lindley) R.I.P., Mr. Dave, and thanks for all the music.

I can remember the damp air and the wet ground when someone told me the next morning. As vivid in my mind as if it were only hours ago.
