30 Years Ago Tonight

[John]

I was on the air at WCGY in Lawrence that night and
reported first that John had been shot and later, that he died.
The next morning, I flew to NYC and joined the mourners
at the Dakota building.  Did some reports from there and
ran into David Peel (of 'I Like Marijuana' fame and an acquaintance
of John's).  I interviewed him.  Still have the tapes from that day.
