December 8, 1980.  .

Has it really been 31 years?    In my 56+ years on the planet, the  universal feeling of grief that followed John's incomprehensible murder was only equaled by that of another John, JFK.  
 
Lennon's music will be remembered through the ages among the pantheon of the Mozarts and Beethovens.
 
Thanks for posting this, Dave.
