Once the shots were fired, Dunn saw many people exit the KC Hall and begin running up and down the street.

Then I got the idea of thinking of Len- non as a Facebook friend. Facebook allows you to experience the touchy-feely side of people you may know only casually. Likewise, the home movies in the video for Lennon’s “Beautiful Boy” (from the “Double Fantasy” album) genu- inely tug at the heartstrings. Various Facebook memes let you see your friends in a different light (“What would your pirate name be?” and the like). I got choked up seeing actor Rob- ert Carlyle’s cameo as a 78-year-old un- assuming, non-celebrity Lennon in the 2019 fantasy movie “Yesterday.” Facebook shows you how your friends strive to grow and reinvent themselves. The Beatles COULD have hung on as a nostalgia act for decades, playing their “Ed Sullivan Show”-era hits at local dances and Rotary Club fundraisers; but (both before and after the breakup), Len- non thrived on innovation, experimenta- tion and avant-garde aspirations, creat- ing a deeper bond with the listeners and society. With Facebook, you get treated to pre- viously unseen “glory days” snapshots of your friends. On a recent weekend, my wife, our son and I FINALLY got to watch and enjoy the zany 1965 Beatles movie “Help!” If you’re like me, you sometimes click “Like” without really scrutinizing all those vacation albums and kindergarten graduation albums that your friends in- undate you with; but every now and then, you have the luxury of time. Lennon left a discography containing much more than commercial hits such as “Power to the People” and “Instant Karma” and I One debate down, how about push-ups? hope I live long enough to explore it.
