I know this isn't exactly political, but I found this very moving, and didn't know that his death was announced on Monday Night Football. I found this very moving.

1. YEs. To see someone who was een as "unhip" by many be affected so strongly really
told us how important John Lennon was.

Ol' Howard may have been a caricature, but he did have a heart and a brain.

He showed that with his support of Muhammad Ali.

It must've been really tragic for many Lennon/Beatles fans to learn about his death by watching a football game.

The musical icon death of my generation? Michael Jackson. I learned about that by watching The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer live; Jackson died during the middle of that newscast.
