I'll never forget the moment. December, 1980. I'm in a dorm room with the rest of the band I was singing in. TV on, sound off, stoned, drunk. And one of us noticed something unusual on the screen. We turned on the sound and learned about John's shooting. Our lead guitarist put a vinyl of "Blackbird" on immediately and cranked the volume to max, bringing everyone in the dorm down on us until they learned, and then the music didn't stop for hours. RIP John and George, and blessings to Paul and Ringo...gratitude beyond measure to you all 🚕 (I couldn't find a yellow submarine so a big yellow taxi will have to do 😋)
And I am planning to watch...thanks for the reminder, Erin!

Oh geez, LeAnn. I felt you on that 1980 Dec day. Great description of a horrible moment.
I was a youngun but totally impacted as the adults gathered around me, shocked and so deeply sad.
I always visit that corner near the Dakota on Central Park West (and Strawberry Fields) when in NYC.
Peace and gratitude to John.
