Re: 'Remember The Dakota' It's an early Christmas in Oz today!
Was able to get meself the dvds of both Lennon Legends and Concert for George.
For all you educated shopppers who are our best customers...
Costco has the Lennon Legends *DVD* for $16.99.
BestBuy selling it for $19.99.
However, at BestBUY if you purchase Turbo Tax Deluxe program
--besides a rebate for that, plus free Norton Anti Virus 2004, free Quicken 2004 Basic, they will also give you a FREE CD up to $15 so I got John for 5 bucks. What a steal huh?
Don't tell the IRS or Billy Preston.

Re: 'Remember The Dakota' I would guess a few of us here heard of John's death from watching Monday Night Football and hearing it from Howard Cosell. I think Howard put it in perspective by saying basically "this is a lousy meaningless football game and we have lost a very important person tonight". That wasn't exactly what he said...but I think it was what he meant.
It was ironic to hear the announcement from Howard...it had been 7 years earlier that Howard interviewed John Lennon at halftime of a LA Rams game. Howard didnt pull any punches and he asked John, "will there be a Beatles reunion, John?"
And we all remember the answer, "it's in the air Howard, it's in the air".
I remember having to go into work the next day after John died. I was 23 and had been out of college a few months and was working for a $1.75 an hour at Montgomery Ward in the tool department. I didn't want to be there that day selling people stuff and trying to act pleasant. I thought the world should have been shut down for a few days. I felt that everybody in the store should have felt as lousy as I did. Two guys I knew from high school came in and were looking around the store. I said something about John dying and they just didn't seem to be as shook up about as I thought everybody (or at least all young people) should have been.
A few days later Yoko had the 10 minutes of silence. I think it was on the following Sunday. My girlfriend came down and we went to the Garden of the Gods (as I was living in Colorado Springs at the time) for a service and rembrance of John. It was a bright sunny day, albiet chilly. The minister who led the service was from the Unitarian Church in town and he happened to be English.
For some reason I felt better after the observance than I had earlier in the week.
It was hard to listen to John music after that but of course I did. Eventually it became easier and less painful.
I may have read this on a web site somewhere, infact maybe it was a site dedicated to John, there is a saying (Native-American-I think) that says as long as you are remembered you are never really dead.
