John Lennon (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b7qaSxuZUg)
9 October 1940 ? 8 December 1980
Hard to believe it's been 30 years.
I was going to work early in the morning when I heard the news, I was still at my parents and I woke my dad up to tell him..he was as shocked as I was.
I always wonder what his musical direction would have been if he was still around and could you envisage him being a judge on the X Factor??
we will never know
I was 6 years old when this happened. I remember it like it was yesterday (no bad Beatles pun intended). I was already a rabid Beatles fan thanks to my father's fabulous record collection. I couldn't understand why anyone would want to shoot him. I still can't.
I was jamming at my friend's home basement studio. During a break the phone rang - a friend from New York with the horrible news. The only event I've ever experienced that was similar was the JFK assassination. 30 years? Unbelievable!
Bill, tgo
I was watching a football game and Howard Cosell told me.
John,
I too was watching that game, of all people to hear it from, eh?

Carpooling to work, saw the headline in a newspaper box. The entire carful was pretty speechless. 30 years -- wow.
