I was watching Monday Night Football that night and doing a stipple portrait of him for an art class. It was half completed. I was stunned, but finished the drawing later that evening. I look back and wish that I had just stopped, the minute that I heard the news. I have it somewhere still. If I get a chance I will scan it an post it. It needs to be scanned and saved anyway.
It is still one of the darkest days I can remember.

I know so many old guys who say they just broke down into tears when they heard he had been shot. Just one of these terrible things I suppose. He signed an autograph for the same guy earlier in the day too.
For my dough John Lennon was the greatest post war singer songwriter- even better than Paul Simon. RIP DR Winston O'Boogie :)

Sugarplumb fairy, Sugarplumb fairy. The sixties were gone for good after that night. I guess they had to end that way. Medgar Evers, Macolm X, John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Bobby Kennedy. Koo koo kachoo.

I was in the hospital when the news broke and took it hard. I remember just staring out the window while the radio played Beatles songs. It was the end of idealism.

I think I was about seven. I'll never forget it because I was on the floor of the living room playing with a toy car and my dad called my mother to tell her the news. He must have been really upset about it because at that point they were recently divorced and hated each other's guts to the point where they wouldn't have any contact with each other at all. Yet he called her to tell her that Lennon was dead. I remember my mother saying "He can't be, I just heard him interviewed on the radio yesterday."
I guess I was too young for it to make any impact on me there and then, but the next day at school was surprised to see teachers upset and the headmaster talked about John Lennon in morning assembly. I think from that point onward, both Beatles and Lennon songs were sung at school instead of hymns. LOL! Gotta love modern teachers. Music lessons were invariably the singing of Beatles songs. We did Penny Lane and Hey Jude quite regularly. When we sang Hey Jude in the Christmas Concert that December, all of the parents were in tears. I can't imagine anyone being that upset by the death of a rock star these days. Well not any adults anyway.

I never heard Howard Cosell get emotional about anything but football until this.
