Below, the now infamous clip of Monday Night Football's Howard Cosell breaking the news of John Lennon's death on the night of Dec. 8, 1980. It's a night I'll never forget. Where were you when John died? Were you a fan? Lennon was against the Vietnam War, as were so many people from all walks of life. But he loved America, as the photo, in which he's flashing a peace sign near the Statue of Liberty, clearly indicates. I still miss John. The world needs him now more than ever. His irreverence, his compassion, and of course his music.
