Thanks for sharing this video. It made me weep like a baby. John was always my favorite Beatle. When I was really little...like 5 or 6...I thought he was so cute and funny and I obsessively listened to my sister's Help album. Now, watching this, I remember again how cute he was as a young man, and just how witty and clever. If you're a fan of his, google his interviews on the Dick Cavett show. Can't believe it's been 30 years. I was in the library at my college, and my boyfriend found me to tell me that he'd been shot. I know it's not on the same level, but that was my President Kennedy moment. I don't remember Kennedy's assassination (too young), but I'll never forget where I was when I heard John Lennon was dead. I was 20, he was 40, and now he would have been 70. What a shame that we lost 30 years of whatever it was he would have done with his talent.
