We look at the events not just of that day, but of the years leading up to 1980 and the year itself. We commemorate John Lennon with this episode, and we will also share our favorite honors and tribute songs for John Lennon. Note: Approximately at 1:32:41, there will be a 10-minute silence in honor of the 10 minutes between the shooting and the announcement of the death. Anyone is free to use this for their own vigil to remember one of the greatest men who ever walked this Earth. Happy Holidays to all!
