Murph Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) I was watching Monday Night Football with some friends and family. Howard Cosell broke in with this...

Murph Posted December 8, 2023 Author Share Posted December 8, 2023 Youtube doesn't allow an embed on that video. I never knew that. Anyhow, all radio stations played Beatles and Lennon tunes for days in the Phoenix area. Remember the moment of silence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JO'C Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 What I remember most about it was the way Howard made the announcement without a hint of emotion seemingly unaware of the significance of the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 (edited) It was our one month wedding anniversary.
