You know there are a few things in history that have had a big impact on peoples lives. This is one of them for some but not for me.
Heard the news on the radio this morning and I thought back and I can't even really remember anything about it. I guess I would have been 12 or 13 years old at the time. KISS was more important to me then.Comment

I remember exactly where I was when I heard about it. Much like when Dimebag Darrell was also assassinated on this day in '04. Not even nearly a loss on the same par, but a shitty coincidence and dual tragedy.Originally posted by conmee

I never liked the Beatles so when I heard the news, it was just another dead rockstar. It was just another murder on the news and I blew it off.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

There was a discussion this morning on a sports talk radio program that I enjoy listening to and they were mentioning how times have changed so much with social media. The news of Lennon's tragedy spread because there was an ABC employee who was at the hospital were Lennon was brought. He made a phone call to ABC headquarters and then the announcement on MNF. Don't remember exactly but it must have been about an hour to an hour in a half after the incident before word starting spreading.
In this day and age with the Internet, cellphones, twitter, facebook, the news would have spread much more rapidly.Talk Classic Rock - The Official Message Board For Classic Rock -- Now on XenForo!Comment

It was still a weird as shit day. Complete strangers were opening up to one another, sharing their grief. The radio only played Beatles and Lennon songs, every newspaper had the story as a headline. It numbed the living hell out of me, for days. The whole deal truly was like losing a member of the family.

that is how i heard about it....had been busy all day....
school, work, and all the petty little day to day stuff...
sat back to watch MNF, as always....
and...WOW
Funny...I remember coming home to my mother crying on the day that Elvis died...
But when I heard about Lenon, all I could do was think about what a horrible waste it was....“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” ~~Maria RobinsonComment

The Beatles for me was a dated band that was special to the generation before me. I just didn't relate to it at all. In those days I didn't particularly like hippies and Lennon to me was this dorky British dude, sitting in bed with his weird Japanese wife living in a confused fog of drugs. New York City in those days was a broke, cess pool full of crime. Anything could happen there and I just thought some dude mugged him because he was a rich rock star. But then I didn't give a ratt's ass when Elvis died either and all the crying and fuss over it amazed me.No! You can't have the keys to the wine cellar!Comment

Lennon signed this idiot's album went to the record plant for a couple hours to record. Then coming home his limo pulled up to the front of the building again instead of the private parking lot so he could sign for more people, and that's when he shot him. He lived in Hawaii and flew in around October changed his mind went home and flew back to New York in December to shot him. That's was what a huge Beatles guy and local DJ said on the radio today. In some of his last interviews he said a Beatles reunion could maybe happen. It would have been interesting if it did. Some of his solo stuff is really great songwriting. Never cared for that women he married but what the hell................... A real rock star. I loved some of the stuff he would say just to stir the pot. Sometime's he didn't even try. Wasn't he on Nixon's enemy list ?? I think he tried to ship him out of America a few times. That shit is funny. RIP. Lets not forget Dimebag also. same day RIP.Last edited by 78/84 guy; 12-08-2010, 07:07 PM.Comment

i do remember the local DJ breaking in and saying Lennon was dead.
Yoko didn't really need to send the bag of John's bloody clothes to the Rock Hall to be put on display, but she did.Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.Comment

Well, then you should probably remember that Chaim Witz and Stanley Eisen, by their own admission, were deliberately trying to be "the next Beatles" when they formed KI$$. And while the stage theatrics and the music itself was certainly different (despite Gene's delusions that he "sings like Paul McCartney") the marketing was something Brian Epstein would have been proud of.Comment
