I was 33, but I don't remember where I was. It was not a defining moment for my life. Lennon and the rest of the Beatles are vastly, vastly overrated - Paul and John wrote some nice songs, but they have been given way too much publicity and prestige by some people.
It is unfortunate that a young man with a family (Lennon) was killed, but so were thousands of other young men in my generation. I think we miss their contributions to society as much as anything Lennon would have done. After all, with all his wealth and opportunities, he basically just spent his last years as a house husband doing drugs. What did he actually DO?
Remembering December 7th and Pearl Harbor is much more meaningful to me.

JOHN LENNON
Awesome wit, great songwriter, good looking as they come.....ummmm. I miss him!
John Lennon
John Lennon died in 1980. By that time, the Beatles had parted. Paul was then "Paul McCartney and Wings". Paul is the one who broke up the Beatles. John was the main music writer. ACtually I think John and Paul were each better on their own.
John Lennon
I have always loved John Lennon. He was my favorite from the first time I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. I was just a kid but I fell in love with John the minute I saw him. I remember the day he died so vividly. I was totally in shock, OMG, blew me away. I miss John Lennon and his music.
"Woman" (I think that's the name) by John Lennon (nm)

John Lennon was a bazillionaire. he had seen it
The only thing left at that point was to eat a placenta. Look at it from that point of view.
John Lennon did NOT eat a placenta!
As he would say - rubbish.
none of them are cute or relatable except John Lennon
Today is John Lennon's birthday. He would have been 65.
Another victim of the world's insanity and senseless violence.
John Lennon didn't do extraordinary things?
I'd say forming the Beatles, changing the face of rock music forever as well as fashion and writing a song like Imagine R pretty extraordinary, in my book.
