If 24/7 news were on in December, 1980 I think John Lennon's death would be covered the same way Michael's is now.

I remember that night -- it happened late, after dark. So shocking. I called a "connected" friend in New York City, and other rock'n'roll friends from all over rang my phone throughout the night.

A lot of us heard it on Monday Night Football. Howard Cosell announced it.
