What a shock, and tragedy and a waste I remember when it happened. I was 11 and in bed, school the next day- but my older sister stayed up to watch Monday Night Football, I think it was Patriots vs. Miami. Then I heard her crying, and she told me about what happened and it was terrible! We were always Beatle fans. We watched the vigils on TV and saved all the 'in memory of' magazines, there must have been over a dozen.
Wow. So was there a lot of talk about it at school the next day?
And you're right, it was the Patriots and the Dolphins-my mom remembers that 'cause she had that game on, 'cause the Dolphins are her favorite team (eerie, those two teams played each other yesterday, too...).
My parents have told this story to me before-my mom had dozed off for a few minutes, and then the news came, and my dad woke her up and told her what had happened.
It all happened long before I was born. I do remember, though, in 10th grade, when my school choir had taken our trip to New York City, passing by the Dakota apartment building where John and Yoko had lived. And as we were walking through Central Park, I remembered thinking about how John and Yoko used to walk the same paths I was walking at one time. It was kinda spooky.
I was hoping to look for the "Imagine" thingy that Headache had posted here, but that park was way too big and we did not get to doing it 'cause we didn't have a lot of time.

RIP John, you were special and will be remembered forever.
Ditto.
I just don't understand. How can someone who was such a peaceful person, such a nice person, die such a horrible death?
