Do you remember what YOU were doing 30 years ago today when Lennon was shot...???

[Rocky Mtn Squid]

It's hard to believe that it was 30 years ago today that Mark David Chapman shot John Lennon in NYC. Makes me feel both sad and old.....

I have a slightly different viewpoint on the entire incident, dare I be labelled as a conspiracy theorist. Do any of you ever listen to Deadline Live with Jack Blood....?? I've been a faithful listener for many years. IMHO, his show is one of the best on internet radio.

If you have the time, have a listen to his show from 2005 on the assasination of John Lennon. His guest is Mack White.

[Purple Monster]

probably just a drunken idea at the time.

 

[kmk420kali]

I was in the Navy, floating around the Indian Ocean--
I think it was the first time I cried for a non-family member that died--

 

[crazybear]

No! Smoked too much since then!

 

[Stoner4Life]

I/we were playing cards in The Bronx when
Howard Cosell broke the news to us.......

 

[CaptainTrips]

I was four years old and have no memory of this event when it happened.

 

[sutra1]

I was in my senior year of college. Howard Cosell informed me as well

 

[Wiggs Dannyboy]

laying on my bed in my dorm at college. I couldn't believe it, didn't seem even close to possible. Why kill a peace loving artist.

 

[Miss Blunted]

Pooping in my diaper.....I was only 2 months old. Sad day in history for certain.

 

[C0NKY]

I was a sperm.

 

[Perpetual Nooch]

I was 13 at the time and not really into music yet. Coming back from a family visit they were playing Lennon and Beatles on the car radio in a tribute. It was the earliest time I remember hearing the Beatles. From then on I was a fan and it really started my appreciation of music. All because of Lennon's murder.

"The day the music died"

 

[sackoweed]

[bobcat1963]

[teemu shalanie]

I was a month old my Ma told me she was crying when she heard the news , then I cried so hard I shit myself ..........Unrelated but still sad.

[PoopyTeaBags]

i was swimming in my daddies nut sack.

 

[steppinRazor]

Non existant in this life, but I was born on the 4th anniversary of his assassination.
I would say I am a bit of a conspiracy theorist too but this one I'm not so sure of, unless of course this fella was some sort of a manchurian candidate.

 

[gdbud]

I remember like it was yesterday.
I was about to walk into tavern at Washington State University on Colorado st and D st when I ran in to a friend that just told me that John Lennon had just been shot and killed. We both when to have a beer to morn our loss.
We miss you John.
