This is the Scene Magazine that came out days after John Lennon was shot in New York City on December 8, 1980. They did a nice cover story and full page article inside, although this issue was not nearly as focused on John as the Cleveland Press/Showtime supplemental published on nearly the same day. As such, I've included various other things like ads and gig announcements in this post. No disrespect is intended toward John's legacy in doing this.
