Hard to think 30 years has past since this event - where did they go...

RIP Mr Lennon

There was an interview with James Taylor on the BBC this morning - Chapman paid him a visit the previous day - "bumped" into him on a train - JL & JT lived in adjacent blocks (or near by) - there but for the grace of God...

 Without a doubt one of the saddest days of my young life, I don't think I felt grief like that again  until my parents died. RIP John.

Events like that are sad, but they don't make a big impression on me.  When Walt Disney died, THAT was a memorable death!

R.I.P. John.  I still remember hearing the news while watching Monday Night Football.  Howard Cosell broke the news.  I was in college at the time and I remember running down the dorm hallway yelling that he'd been killed.  I'd just read his interview in Playboy the week before.  Very sad times.

I was watching MNF too.  I had bought Double Fantasy already, and had listened to it a couple of times.  Then it was everywhere.

Morrison's birthday today too.

...& Dimebag Darrell was murdered on Dec. 8th too.

Strange.

I remember when John was killed too. Just a couple of years before my parents had given me a huge boxed set of all the Beatles' LPs and I pretty much listened to them nonstop. It was an incredibly sad day. RIP, John.
