1. I was watching that game and Howard is the one I heard it from
And hearing Howard's voice just now set of a stream of memories of that evening.

2. That was such a sad day.
Right about the time I had finally come to grips, more or less, with the assassinations of the '60s -- BANG. Such a waste.

3. 1980... For me, forever, the year when it all changed...
The 70's, Reagan, Lennon, Nazis in Skokie, Members Only Jackets... It all changed, the whole vibe, in 1980 for me. I was 14.

4. I still haven't gotten over it.


The death of my parents, JFK, Bobby, MLK and John Lennon. Some things you just don't get over.

5. I cried today in the car
Just like I did the morning I drove to work after waking up to the news. I feel him, I miss him. Damn.
