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.
