A songwriter, who was a guest on a local morning radio talk show, was talking about a song he had written which had a line in it about being in a disco when <strong>John Lennon<\/strong> was shot&#8230;..  He said his producers were having trouble finding someone to sing it because they didn&#8217;t want to give the impression that they were that old and\/or would have been in a disco in the first place&#8230;..

I can also tell you to the minute where I was and what I was doing when JFK was assassinated&#8230;..
