Former assistant to John Lennon, Dan Richter, feels that the legendary singer may be alive today if he had had better security back in the 1980s. The Grammy winner was assassinated 42 years ago in front of his NYC apartment.
Dan's feeling is that the front door of the apartment building was too high profile, and that a side door should have been used instead. As an assistant to Lennon, Dan was concerned about it.
