We watched a program about him on PBS, last night, that was quite good. Ran at least 2 hours.
I wouldn't be surprised if they replay it. Try to find it if you can.

He was a confused dude. When living with my Grandmother in high school, doing a Spicoli lifestyle routine, I got home and she met me at the door crying that "They killed him, they killed him!" It was Lennon she was talking about. She had me expecting it was a family member who was killed.
Yoko is what, 87?
Oh yeah! Haven't seen it in decades but there's a video of him somewhere riding in a convertible to cheering kids and he does a Hitler salute as he drives by. Hilarious![This message has been edited by sourmash (edited 10-10-2020).]

I don’t know him much past his talent with music.

From many accounts, I gather he wasn't the most pleasant of fellows. Musically talented, for sure, but I suspect he would've made one cranky 80 year old.

Little known bit of "histrivia"...
I went to the same high school (Columbia. Dekalb County) as Mark Chapman. He was, I think, two years ahead of me. I didn't know him, but I know some people who did. I understand he was a nut-cluster, even back then.
