And I still vividly remember hearing John Lennon's "(Just Like) Starting
Over" and the announcement of his death on my little clock radio back when.
In fact, when I saw "Lennon" on Broadway the other week (just before it
closed), the "Double Fantasy" era tunes completely took me back to my grade
school mornings, fueled by my AM clock radio.
