Getting in the car to go to the next bar, I turned on MMR and we heard Michael Tierson give the news. After that, we just drove around listening to the radio and talking about the Beatles and John Lennon and their impact on our lives already - jumping up & down, screaming at the top of our lungs in our grandparents living room that Sunday night, the photo of us in front of the Washington Monument wearing our John Lennon glasses... The way TV brought everyone together after JFK was shot, that's how I feel about the radio that night. It was so comforting to have John's love and power, and loss, acknowledged and be able to listen to the music there in my car in the dark.
