On this day in 1980, John Lennon was killed outside of his home at the corner of 72nd Street and Central Park West. That the great poet of love would meet his end in such violent fashion remains one of the cruelst ironies of life. Like those composers before him who died prematurely, Lennon left behind a vast catalogue of songs that will endure. From 1974, a song without meaning for a meaningless, tragic event.
