My sister, 29, and I, 16, sat at the kitchen table listening to WNEW with the TV on mute waiting for news. We were both shocked, but I remember her talking about how much he and the Beatles had been in her life.
I will never, never forget that night and how I wanted to take that sadness away from my sister.
I can never listen to the song Starting Over without crying. It seems so prescient, as if he were preparing Ono for the next stage of their relationship.

Hey – I was listening to WNEW that night. Vin Scelsa, aka Bayonne Butch, was broadcasting when I went to bed and I listened to him stammering that there was word that John Lennon had been shot and taken to a hospital but that he couldn’t confirm. The next morning my radio alarm was still tuned to WNEW and I woke up to Imagine playing and I knew the news was not good.
