I got up that morning.........it was on a Tuesday, I remember that. I had a birthday coming up on the 11th, so I was "almost 16"............mom and dad always listened to this country/news station on the radio...........and they came on saying, "former Beatles John Lennon has died, shot dead last night at his Dakota complex"..........and said more about it and I just cried and cried and CRIED that whole day at school. Oh my god......someone had shot a "Beatle" and killed a "Beatle"........I was in shock for a long, long, time......
