Good one

Well done

Yep! 👍

In the football game off life, it could be considered a failed 3rd and long.

He’s trying to keep calm and composed

Yeah and after he said "dead on arrival" I was expecting him to say that The Beatles now have to punt.

John and Howard were friends? In what alternate universe?

Well, considering John Lennin himself was a pompous ass and total creep, I guess Howard called it perfectly.

@Kaede let's say I do..that doesn't change your lack of knowledge of american culture that precedes the advent of Facebook.

@Kaede so Alexander the great is equal to famous SPORTS announcers who many comedians imitated, who interviewed and covered people alive today! Hello? The man covered multiple sports . including Mohammad Ali. And George for man. I know people from a generation behind me, why can't u?

Kerry Mei Americans think Europe is a country, you’re not known for your knowledge.

Me too. So haunting.

How often do you watch it?

Yeah. This gave me chills hearing it again. Decades later.

That is how murder can happen sometimes that why I always live my everyday like it could be my last day and I pray for God to let me live longer because of my children and my Grandchildren also.

Damn

Howard Cosell interviewed Lennon a few times and they seemed to share a mutual respect. I can identify with what I perceive as Cosell's disgust when he says "shot twice in the back." It's like hearing the news of Lennon's death from one of his friends. I don't tear up very often, but watching this always sets off the water works -- even if I just watched it just a second ago. Such a waste of human life and artistic creativity. It marked the end of perhaps the must fertile era of popular music, announced during the backdrop of a football game.

Wow....they should have had that too

My mom had the exact same thought at the time. She answered her own question by saying "a crazy person."

By 1980 I had received news of the deaths of several people that I actually knew personally. A cousin killed in a war, a couple of drug overdoses, car accidents, and at least one murder. Some musician being killed, no matter how famous, didn't affect me all that much. It wasn't good news, obviously, and it was surprising that he was murdered, but people die every day.

@James Y it’s not for you to call . Both were profoundly significant people who touched the hearts of many .

Eerie and tragically poetic in a almost cinematic way that the player that happened to be in close up was called John too and he looks straight at the camera during Howard’s anouncmemt . One John in the prime and heat of his life . Another sadly beyond the end of his .

Yes

It was quite a shock. I was a fifth grader at the time watching the game (at a reasonable hour in the Pacific Time Zone). My best friend was a huge Beatles fan. I felt very sad and remember when he arrived in class the following day. Everyone felt bad for him.

why. why on earth would he be hurt because of one guy dying

@@fingersmcoy if your not a Beatle fan or John Lennon fan you wouldn’t understand. John Lennon is one of the greatest musicians to ever live.

Dam.i was born a year later

I always wondered if people in the Orange Bowl were listening to the radio and heard the news and how the news spread around the stadium--I wonder if the public address announcer in the stadium also announced it

@@luadinverno7778 I was born a year before.

End handgun violence now

I could not either. That was until yesterday when it was Kobe Bryant was killed in a helicopter crash. My heart dropped into my stomach, and I was in utter shock for hours. I really couldnt believe it. I heard from several that that is exactly what Lennon's death was like.

It made me sick to my stomach when I heard this news live watching the game. I wish I could forget it, but I know I never will.

I was watching the game in the living room when the phone rang in the kitchen. No cells, of course, so I got up and went to answer it. So... in one ear, my older brother - who had introduced me to the Beatles on Ed Sullivan on February 9, 1964 - was saying, "John's dead" while my husband came running into the kitchen saying, "Howard Cosell just said John Lennon's been killed." At the same time. I hung up and dialed the number to the Denver Post - we had an ad in the paper and had the phone number on a notepad next to the phone. When the operator answered, she was crying. All I could do was ask and she said, "It's true." The phone kept ringing with our friends and my family calling, it truly was a death in the family. Later that night, my husband and I couldn't think of what to do, but needed to do... something, so we drove to the chapel on our university campus where we had gotten married, expecting it to be empty, but of course, it was full. Finally, someone thought to go knock on the door of the university chaplain who came over right away. He opened the sacristy and found some small candles for us all to hold and then said Psalm 23 (Yea, though I walk...), the Lord's Prayer and talked for about 3 minutes about John and his music, said a prayer for John's family - his sons and the aunt who raised him and his 'Beatle brothers' (I remember that so well). It was just perfect for the moment. To be honest, the ten minutes of silence up at Red Rocks (where they had played in 1964) wasn't as impactful because people were just wandering around and didn't know what to do - some tried to sing, someone had brought a recorder, but the amp didn't work, so no one could hear it. It was bitterly cold and windy. I'll remember the spontaneous gathering at the university chapel around midnight.

@@22_cincatt I was eating a ham sandwich when when Cosell made the initial announcement that he had been shot. Needless to say, I lost my appetite. I was 17 and had been a huge Beatles fan ever since I could remember. In the year preceding his death, I had really gotten into John's solo work, especially Plastic Ono Band, which made his murder even more painful.

@@musclehamster4120 no offense but lennon is bigger

is that kind of exact moment that you´re always remember, such a lost for the world, i always wonder about what lennon will be doing today...

If you were listening to wplj (which was "album oriented rock" at that time), they were playing Killer Queen by Queen when that song was interrupted to make the announcement. I didn't hear it. My next door neighbor told me about it the next day. I was already asleep by that time (it was about 11:00 PM).

Omg ur friends name is brian like brian may and your last name is taylor like roger Taylor :0

@@geraldobrien7323 Dang u have quite the memory. kinda creepy how it was "killer queen" that was playing

@@Adam-de8jm Upon further review the receiver was hit in the back and down by contact. The play is dead.

What fine college did you attend ??

I went about my day as usual. I was a Beatles fan but I'd never met any of them. Not like a family member or close friend had died. Can't understand why people get so emotional about someone they had never met.

I had forgotten all about that moment of silence. I was "listening" as well.

Weird.

I was coming out of the shower at Parsons School of Design and the news broke. The line at the hallway payphone was already 30 people long. I was a huge Beatles fan and everyone was concerned about me. I chose to wear a pretty outfit as I sat in my dorm, silent. I could not even consider taking the subway uptown to The Dakota. I had to be by myself. After that I wore all black for a month, even at Christmas.

Bob Marley.

hey

I doubt it. Nothing will shake a true football fan.

well he said God is dead and allegedly didn't believe in an afterlife, so that's a wrap.

The most dramatic example of that was probably involved Al Michaels prior to the scheduled Game 3 of the 1989 World Series when the 1989 Bay Area earthquake occurred...immediately prior to a game involving the two teams from the Bay Area, the San Francisco Giants and Oakland A's. Michaels became the de facto news reporter on site for ABC News.

@@chipmillard5043 I think about that and I also think to when they had to interrupt a baseball game to announce Bin Laden’s death

Also his kick was blocked. Just like the chant 'block that kick' that was heared during 'Revolution #9. Damn spooky.

+TJ Cassidy Howard Cosell actually had a news background. Even after he became "the mouth that roared," Cosell continued for many years to host a Sunday night show on WABC Radio in New York called "Speaking of Everything," which was anything BUT a sports show (a second version of that aired on the national ABC Radio network). Many outside New York never knew that side of Cosell.

and lennon was once a guest...

I had been asked by a female friend to help out her church choir, which needed an extra tenor for the Handel Hallelujah chorus that they were going to sing on Christmas eve. I was a senior in high school, and very active in the music program. I went, sang, and came home to watch Monday Night Football. There it was. The Announcement. Devastating. I owned every Beatles album, and several Lennon solo albums. A horrible night.

@MICKEYDELFINO It's like 9/11 and from what I heard the JFK assassination. Such a major event people knew where they were and what they were doing at the time. I was in High School during 9/11. My teacher put the t.v. on and I saw the North Tower on fire. I was working on a project and just glancing at the t.v. and knew there was a restaurant up there and thought it had caught on fire. And as time went on it said a small plane hit it. And then I saw a commercial size airliner hit the second one. That was the fastest 15 minutes in my life.

It is certainly a tragedy, but John Lennon was not a nice guy.

***** Well, he was apparently not nice to people in person, was quite arrogant, the minute he fell in love with Joko Ono he started always putting her first to the detriment of others, etc. Great music, a shame he died so horribly, but not a kind person unfortunately.

How would you know? Really?

+ThisIsRyan John Lennon was a flawed man.. But he was a man. He had certainly had his bad, he made me upset looling back; but, he certainly had his good as well. We dont do him any justice trying to paint him with broad strokes: he was a complicated human being, who fought good and bad, won some battles and lost some battles, and tried to do the best he could with what he knew how. Like you and me.

@Danny Branderson "But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao, You ani't gonna make it with anyone anyhow" .....hardly the words of a "commie" you stupid little boy.

Kobe's death, while tragic of course, was an accident. For many of us, it was the fact that some idiot actually, deliberately murdered John (Chapman had been there in October, too and his wife knew of his plans). Took a plane from Hawaii, went to his home, hung around all day into the night and purposely shot him. In front of his wife. With his little boy upstairs. I never use the word 'died' re: John, it's either 'murder' or 'assassinated' because it's important that people always remember it for what it was. Music stars died in accidents - Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, Glenn Miller or they died of self-inflicted drug abuse like Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Keith Moon, et al. John was murdered.

So, you go and start a band, create 208 songs and 12 album, all of whch have hit No.1 in the U.K, sell 600 Million albums, 1.6 Billion singles, have 20+ singles top the charts in the U.K and U.S, have 40% of the U.S population watch you on T.V, create hysteria upon teenage girls to the point in which you have girls raiding your home just to see you, be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame TWICE, have at least one of your songs played on the radio at all times, and bring your band to be the most influential musical group in history and then you can critisize John.
