British newspaper 'Daily Sketch' publishes a picture of theTara Browne crash. Tara Browne was a young socialite friend of Paul McCartney's and an heir to the Guinness brewing fortune when he was killed in a car accident in London on December 18, 1966. The 21-year-old lost control of his light-blue Lotus Elan in South Kensington, London, and collided with a black van.A month after that fatal crash—and the day after Browne's mother won custody of her late son's two children in court—John Lennon propped a copy of the Daily Mail on his piano. It was in the middle of pagethree he saw an article headlined "Guinness Heir Babies Stay with Grandmother." Realizing he knew Browne, he sat down at the piano, took pen to paper, and wrote "A Day In The Life."
