Like most people in America, I heard about the death of John Lennon from Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football.

I was only 13, and not that well versed in music history, so I didn't really know who John Lennon was. I asked my Mom and she said she thought he was in some group from the 60's. Of course, after this day in 1980, there was a lot of John Lennon music on the radio. Mainly because he had just released a new Album, Double Fantasy.
