Decenber 8, 1980,
I had just picked up the latest Issue of Playboy magazine with a new Inerview with John and Yoko. I was living at home with my parents and didn't think they would like me having Playboy in the house. I went into my basement bedroom shut the door and turned on my stereo receiver to the local classc rock station and settled back to read the Interview. After quickly looking at all the girls in the magazine - I started to read the introduction to the Interview. This intro had so many great details of the Dakota building inside and out. Just when the Interview was about to begin the radio station I was listening to interrupted a song to bring a news break.....
"John Lennon was shot in New York city tonight".... "more details as we get them". This was very odd moment reading this article about John Lennon and this news from New York city. I popped in a cassette tape into my cassette deck and started recording up and down the FM & AM searching for more infomation and then I went to the television set and turned it on and started going though all the channels only to hear Howard Cosell tell me the news..........
