I feel a sadness every time I hear Starting Over. It the one song that takes me back to that horrible day. Happy Birthday John.
My sentiments *exactly*. One of my life's "do you remember where you were" moments.
my mom woke me up and told me that morning. I think it affected her more than me back then.
a story about John's piano, perhaps the one on this track: my friend used to work for a landscaping company in NYC. It was very high-end, they did Woody Allen's terrace, big gala parties, etc. They also did (John &) Yoko's Dakota apartment, providing florist services, etc. One day a guy (not my friend, phew!) was moving a big vase of water in the apartment, near John's famous white piano -- and of course, the vase broke -- sending water cascading all over the place. Soaking the piano, getting framed photos wet. Yoko sill retained their services after that, but it was a disheartening moment for all involved.
