Probably due to my piecemeal style of engaging with current events this came as a shock to me. I become aware of it through a profile article in the current New York Magazine. If the reportage is to be believed John is currently 60+ living under the supervision of his 90 year old Mom (as well as the sureveillance of the Secret Services) and restrictions on his conduct include a no-contact with Jodie Foster among other things. The impression I came away with is that the Gipper's would-be assasin worked the system and incredibly found love in the psychclink as well as maintaining his integrity as a consumate sociopathic narcissist. Fascinating.

Anyone know the current disposition of JH's historical siamese twin Mark David Chapman?

Fun fact: when Reagan got shot the FBI contacted 'Taxi Driver' scribe Paul Schrader. When Lennon was murdered journalists contacted Robert Altman due to his film 'Nashville' in which a Loretta Lynn type of C&W singer was assassinated. 'Nashville' is by far the superior movie.
