Lennon Remembered' was a half-hour television tribute to John Lennon, produced by CNN and broadcast on Superstation TBS in 1981 on the first anniversary of his murder. The documentary was produced, written and directed by David Guilbault. (Digitized from an old VHS copy). ----- On December 8th in 1980, when John Lennon was murdered, I was producing a two-hour live show on CNN, called "Take Two". We, of course, devoted the entire program that day to the news of his killing, his life and his music. A year later, for the anniversary of his death, I was tasked to produce a half-hour tribute that aired on WTBS. My budget was zero, so I literally had to beg or borrow every piece of footage I could get my hands on and put the show together quickly. Still, it was a labor of love. With what I had, I tried to tell a story using just John's words. The program, "Lennon Remembered", was raw, as these were pre-digital days, with linear, not non-linear editing, and the source tapes I used were of poor quality. To this day, I miss the man and his music. So, bless you John Lennon and thanks for all the grooves. There has never been anyone better. - David Guilbault
