Thirty years ago today John Lennon was murdered outside his apartment in New York City. I remember that day well.
I was a young reporter working at night as a one-man band. That's someone who shoots his own video, writes the story, voices the script and edits the final story.
As word began to filter across the country about Lennon's death, spontaneous gatherings took place. I guess people just didn't want to be alone with this awful news.
