Lennon

30 years since the assassination of John Lennon. A pointless, lunatic act  of violence.

Only a few years earlier, Lennon had been  a political radical & proto-punker. By 1980 he had been pretty much defanged, releasing ear candy like "(Just Like) Starting Over," which the murder of Lennon pushed to #1, becoming his biggest solo hit. 

Lennon had a lot of good music left  in him, & he would've been a  huge MTV star, right along with Paul McCartney.
