We lost a GREAT MUSICAN on December 8, 1980.

On this date John Lennon was shot and killed outside his apartment in New York City.

John Lennon is one of my favorite musicians of all time. R.I.P.

That was 8 blocks north of me. Occasionally international tourists wandering in my neighborhood ask me directions to the spot where he was shot.
