36 years ago today!

36 years ago today I was walking down the stairs at home, my old man was listening to the wireless, he shouts out 'Shit! they've only gone and shot John Lennon'.
A musical inspiration to me and millions of others, still sadly missed, heres one of his greatest pieces of work IMHO -

Same with me! Walking down the stairs (different ones to you ;-) ), to get ready for school and heard the news on the radio. Only thing we talked about at school for days (at the time the prefect common room pretty much had the Beatles 'red' and 'blue' albums on repeat)

I heard it on my own little radio in the bedroom when I woke up. Seem to remember it was the Supporters' Club Christmas Disco that evening in the Valley Club portakabin - gave it rather a subdued atmosphere.

I wore a black armband to work...a very sad day that, unfortunately, is etched in memory. RIP.

I arrived in the USA for he first time and later heard this news. The Americans we met were also upset and many times said "Sorry to hear about your buddy". It was strange at first as I initially said that I've never met him but later excepted the sentiments.
.....and 36 years ago....blimey where has the time gone?

Wasn't born until seven years after his death but he is one of my heroes. Had quite a good sense of humour
