26 years ago :eek: I remember hearing the news like it was yesterday, and there being a sad and subdued atmosphere when I arrived in college. The whole feeling was heightened because the College was in Henley, where George Harrison lived, and the press were at the gates to his house most of the day.
Part of my childhood was taken away from me on that day ;( but we still have Lennon's music, most of which remains as relevant as the day it was written.
Rest in peace John :s mokin:
I was 8, and didn't appreciate Lennon's contribution to musical history nor the gravity of the news. Now with the benefit of old age - sorry, wisdom - at least I can enjoy his legacy.
I wasn't born! I like being young here... I usually feel like the old one!
I was fast approaching my 12th birthday and remember the news like it was yesterday. As Dave says, with the onset of erm 'wisdom' we have the ability to realise what a talent was so cruely taken from us 26 years ago.
RIP John.
I was already living in Manhattan and was watching "Monday Night Football" when the news was given to us.
The next morning, I could swear that every new yorker on the streets had the saddest look in their eyes.
John Lennon was part of the city landscape and I recall that every time you would see him walking through central Park with his wife Yoko, no New Yorker would bother him for autographs - we just let him be- we didn't want to scare him away, he was part of us - and like it's been mentioned already, John Lennon still is a part of us and his messages still have relevance today.
Thanks John.
peace
