Apple gives peace a chance. In the war over prestige documentary content, Apple’s latest John Lennon: Murder Without a Trial, narrated by Kiefer Sutherland, includes unreleased crime scene photos and details of John Lennon’s murder, including the killer’s confession. The trailer is gripping and claustrophobic. The series premieres Dec 6 on Apple TV .

That was so awful. I'll never forget it. I was on my first date with Linda. We went to dinner and then went to the movies and saw One Trick Pony. Walked out and as soon I we got in the car we heard the news on the radio. Other than that, it was the perfect date.

I was a kid living on the upper west side of Manhattan, 14 blocks north of the Dakota, and my parents were at a party right near where it happened. The Dolphins were playing the Jets on Monday Night Football. We heard sirens going crazy around the neighborhood and Howard Cosell took a beat and let the audience know that John Lennon had just been shot. The Beatles were big in our home and we were all floored. I was worried sick until my folks walked in the door. A year later, I had the honor of attending the collective silence at the newly named Strawberry Field in Central Park. The whole experience has stayed with me always. Thank you for sharing, Geoff Hall!

I was 11 when it happened. It was late that night before I learned about it, as outside playing as kids do. When I was told I was just numb. A lot of terrible things were happening in the world, but I could not for the life of me as a kid figure out why someone would actively search out and kill a former Beatle. Makes no more sense today than it did then. I will be diving into this show to see what they have.
Sam Sokolow thanks for sharing your story, Sam. It’s one of those “where were you when…” events. Like the Kennedy assassinations, or VE Day. They are imprinted on our psyche, on our hearts. It may even be a theme for a screenplay?!
James Hoey Hi James, I was 23 at the time and thought the world had gone mad (again). So, we are killing poets and musicians now, are we? It seemed a pointless end to a wonderful life.

Hey Geoff Hall. Right? All these years later I wonder if we've ever stepped out of the madness long enough to say we've gone mad again.
