I remember hearing these words---"One of the singing group The Beatles dies in a car accident...story at eleven"...during the Monkees TV show broadcast in Sept. of 1966. The whole family stayed up and watched the news and nothing was ever mentioned about it that night or any other night.
This happened on the broadcast that came out of the Manhattan network HQ, whichever station it was (NBC ?).
This is something that I heard as a 11 year old kid. There was an anxiousness in my family, all waiting to hear about it on the news at eleven; we all felt that something major had happened. When the news was over and realized no story was forthcoming, I forgot I ever heard those words on the tv that cool autumn night.
It took 42 years and finding this site for me to put this whole affair into perspective. Thank you to the intelligent posters---doc, jo jo, jarvitronics, letter b, semolina and the many other good people who put their intelligent thoughts down for us all to use.
