Today marked another major loss in our cultural existence... but if I hadn't been watching Access Hollywood, I wouldn't have remembered the date:

Today is the 20th Anniversary of John Lennon's murder.

Was it really 20 years ago? Ghod... I was only 13, just newly Bar Mitzvahed a few months earlier. Back then, it didn't really affect me, but as I grew older and discovered the Beatles, it was a loss that hurt me more than I could imagine.

Anyone else who forgot like me: Remember.
