RIP.....John Lennon....28 years ago.
It's seems all the forums I visit have forgotten him.
Back then, they killed one of us.....Very sad, moving.
Do YOU remember?
As long as there are people who appreciate music, John will never be forgotten.

I still remember watching the news report when it happened. Total shock. I wish John was still with us. :cry:

He's certainly not forgotten round here although George Harrison is the bigger hero amongst our regulars.
Musenfreund, one of our mods, is the world's biggest Beatles fan, and I quit smoking on the 20th anniversary of John's assassination so I have a doubly good reason to remember the date.
Eight years without a fag - that's not bad going.

Yeah...I remember. I stopped in to a sandwich shop in Tucson and everyone in there was quiet as can be. One guy pointed up to the speakers for the House Muzak and I heard the godawful news. Came up with "Dirty Rotten Shame" later that day...

I was only 8 when he died, but I vaguely remember the news reports. Of course, at the time, I didn't really comprehend who he was. I remember my mom crying about it. She had bought most of The Beatles' singles as a teenager. Once I got older and started listening to them, John quickly became, and has remained, my favorite. I prefer his voice to Paul's (it has a "rougher" sound to it, Paul's is too "pretty") and he was the lyrical genius.
I was watching Football on the TV with a Friend that night. I can still remember Howard Cossell breaking the news :(
