John Lennon was murdered..remember that morning like yesterday....I was drying my hair getting ready to go to work when I heard the news on Radio 1..where were you ?
My Mum was bringing me tea in bed to get me up for college and I was listening to the radio. The presenter said "And the shock news this morning is that John Lennon has been shot dead in New York" I remember it really clearly
I was a new mum living in Paris so probably heard it on the news but can't remember. I can however, remember like yesterday the assassination of JFK, I was very young but felt very sad for some reason.
Evening, Minty.....I was in Calgary waiting to give birth to the daughter.....
There were two more assassination attempts not long after...the Pope and Reagan....It still niggles me that they survived when John Lennon didn't.....nice guy, I think....x
I was 10 and didn't really know too much about The Beatles. (My mum was a Cliff fan.)
I do remember my dad coming home from work saying "Well, The Beatles can't get back together now."
I wondered why the radio stations were playing Beatles songs but eventually one of them explained the news. I was shocked. Pop stars often die young but seldom murdered.
