It was shortly before 8:00 a.m. CST on December 9, 1980. I arrived at my college class, taking one of the remaining seats.
The young woman across from me was speaking to her friend, and I heard her say, "I know! No matter what station you turn to, all you hear are Beatles' songs!"
I asked, "Why are all the radio stations playing Beatles' songs?"
She answered, "Haven't you heard?! John Lennon was murdered last night!"
And I said, "Who's John Lennon?"
