Dec 8, 1980. As a 14YO Beatlemaniac, I was so excited to have new music from John Lennon. He sounded happy and settled and his new music was drifting from WNEW-FM multiple times a day. He said at the time "weren't the 70s a drag? Hopefully the 80s will be better". Here was a grounded 70s radical, celebrating his life, his marriage, and his son with some his most fully realized music. Later that day I cut school and found myself at the Dakota.

@MPCavalier I turned 17 on this day in 1980. The evening ended up not so good.

@MPCavalier Ha! Thanks. Not why I mentioned it. It was just a really surreal evening
