TIL: Today I Learned...

TIL that the Dakota building in NYC, in front of which John Lennon was killed by a deranged lunatic (is there another kind ?) and where Yoko Ono lived for literally over 50 years, until a few months ago- that same building’s HOA/board rejected as tenants- Madonna, Cher and Billy Joel….. i guess i can kinda understand rejecting the first two (though I wouldn’t mind them as neighbors).. but how ya gonna reject Billy friggin Joel ?? Was it some kinda Long Island bias ? It’s not like he hailed from Staten Island or something .. i dont get it .
