John Lennon - October 9th, 1940 - December 8th, 1980

all the people

of course it is

I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news, can't say the same about JFK

on a grassy knoll.......................................

One of the 'best' and most 'moving' of videos ever made - imo.  X

Me too MB.
Just couldn't believe it.

But I also remember where I was re JFK announcement !

Heard of his death the morning of the 9th, that night I had a Queen concert at Wembley, Freddie sang Imagine, seems like yesterday

Guy I worked with from Liverpool, bit older than me has an older brother called John, when the news came on the radio his mum appeared at the bottom of the stairs shouting him.

'What's up ?'
'He's dead, John's dead !'
'What ?'
'John ! John's dead, somebody shot him !'
'Where was he ?!'
'New York'

Hang on...

No trolls appeared yet to say he was a Beatle and an over-rated crap musician.

It must be Christmas.

They must be having the day off Taxi.
I can't believe it was 34 years ago. It doesn't seem that long ago. Imagine

Very poignant song and montage:

Okay CMAT, I'll bite; he was an ardent supporter of the IRA which rather upset his family. Piece of carp imo.

HE LOVED YOKO

He wasn't the only one.

ffs

I USED TO KNOW YOKO WHEN SHE SOLD LIGHT BULBS ON THE ELECTRIC STILL IN WOOLWORTHS IN MANCHESTER IN THE 60S,SHE WAS CARRYING A BIG BOX I SAID ARE THEY HEAVY DO YOU NEED ANY HELP SHE SAID NO THEIR ONLY LIGHT BULBS

It was one of those moments in life where you remember the moment. Similar to the news of the death of Elvis.

Presley. Costello's still going I think.

PRESIDENT KENNERDY,ELVIS PRESSLY ,JOHN LENNON ,PRINCESS DIANA

I see Chit Chatters are  happy to gloss over Mr Lennon's faults.Pointing
them out doesn't make you a troll.
Was'nt he a wifebeater?  Did'nt he treat his first son very badly?

my mum woke me up with the news,i asked if he was dead,she said said "i think so",I loved john lennon
