Lenin? Wouldn't he have already died a long time ago?" Anyway when I finished my thing I got out of the bathroom and my father filled in some more details while we were watching the news. The rest of the night I spent listening to the radio and everyone playing Beatles and Lennon songs.

Double Fantasy had come out some months earlier and I was bit sick of a few of the songs on the radio already. But by that time I *was* a Beatles fan (though not as big as I got several years later) so I did appreciate the magnitude of the event.
Are you talking about Elvis?
