In Memoriam

It Was Forty Years Ago Today

December 8, 2020

John Lennon Memorial – Strawberry Fields, Central Park, NYC

December 8, 1980, another date that will live in infamy. The day legendary musician, songwriter and activist John Lennon was gunned down in front of the The Dakota apartment building in Manhattan. Further proof that, as Mike Love wrote in the Beach Boys’ Student Demonstration Time, “The pen is mightier than the sword, but no match for a gun.”

  1. I was in my 1st semester at college and had 2 roommates. One was named John, the other's last name Chapman. My given name is Marc David. For a while I was sure it was our fault. U
    That is, until we met Dr John Lennon.
