Murdered at 10:55pm eastern on 12/8/80. At 11:15pm Howard Cosell interrupted the Monday Night Football game between Miami and New England, as it was going into overtime, to announce:
"One of the great figures of the entire world, one of the great artists, was shot to death horribly at the Dakota Apartments, 72nd Street and Central Park West in New York City. John Lennon is dead. He was the most important member of the Beatles, and the Beatles, lead by John Lennon, created music that touched the whole of civilization. Not just people in Liverpool, where the group was born, but the people of the world."
Not that I agreed with his politics, but anyone watching that night will remember that weird moment.

Actually, some of the best Muzak I ever heard were orchestral interpretations of Beatles' song performed by trained musicians for a change, the Hollywood Strings, I believe. Very lively. I wonder if the stuff is available on CD...

So far we've gotten only two or three volunteers for the Tiger Beat PING list. I was thinking of it more like an involuntary PING list, you know what I mean? Maybe this idea's time hasn't come yet...

I actually can think of only one song that I do not like from Dire Straits.
Twisting by the Pool.

Involuntary PING list, so be it. You must flame for the good of the country. Go get em. We are all behind you.
To: CyberCowboy777
Yeah, that song sucks. I am actually learning "Going home" instrumental on guitar right now. I almost got it. Have you heard that one?

The David Bowie albums hold up better over time.
