  still on bob gruen's site. it's making me remember when i was living in New Jersey, and was a teen in the good ole US of A. I lived in New York City for a while. The first time my Dad visited there, to find us a place, he went out to a pub, an Irish one, the only "pubs" in NYC are Irish. Not that they're real public houses like the British Isles, but when you're an ex-pat they're the closest you'll get. So he went to this pub with workmates, and when he came out, he saw a gunfight in the street. Pretty scary. Bob Gruen's got a picture of John Lennon wearing a white sleeveless t-shirt with New York City boldy written across the front.
I remember the day he was shot in that city. I found out on the way to high school on one of those big yellow school buses. Some kid came on, towards the end of the ride, I was on that bus almost 2 hours every morning, and he said.."John Lennon's been shot. " We were all quiet, just total silence. It seemed impossible. An older girl at the back of the bus sobbed. Guns and the good ole USA. :not impressed:
