Mark David Chapman was one of the most invisible. By the end of 1980, the Beatles had been broken up for a decade -- a decade John Lennon had spent in search of his true identity: singer, songwriter, activist, burn out. "It's the perfect time to be coming back," he declared. Except that Lennon was a marked man. As early as the Beatles' controversial 1966 American tour, the band had feared for their safety. "You might as well put a target on me," Lennon said, and the Nixon administration complied by opening an FBI file. If only the agents hadn't been so intently focused on the star himself, they might have detected Mark David Chapman's powerful, ever-growing obsession with his one-time idol. Chapman, himself a tragic nowhere man, ultimately achieved the notoriety he craved by actualizing the target on Lennon -- single-handedly wounding the spirit of a generation. 600 10 $a Lennon, John, $d 1940-1980. 600 10 $a Chapman, Mark David. 650 0 $a Assassination. 650 0 $a Death. 650 0 $a Rock musicians. 651 0 $a England. 650 0 $a Large type books. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Wedge, Dave, $e author. 700 1 $a Sherman, Casey, $d 1969- $e author. 941 $a 20 945 $a lpt 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611023706.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20231025011215.0 952 $l WKPE185 $d 20230310013658.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230203015716.0 952 $l TRPE062 $d 20221230010201.0 952 $l REPC017 $d 20220407023255.0 952 $l CXPC586 $d 20210923010558.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210814010354.0 952 $l BWPD851 $d 20210714021231.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20210703010705.0 952 $l FDPC194 $d 20210703010346.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20210702013932.0 952 $l AJPE887 $d 20210622010041.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20210406010651.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20210304010354.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20210226010150.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20210211010926.0 952 $l JBPC145 $d 20210102091511.0 952 $l HRPE845 $d 20201229010624.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20201223010226.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=816BE8C044EC11EB9C7A315C4EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
