    John Lennon

    I was only 16 but remember hearing the news on Monday Night Football that he was shot and killed. I can't believe it has been 30 years already and he would have been 70 years old now. His death is one of those those moments that one remembers where there were when they first heard the news.

    Yeah, time flies doesn't it. Lennon's son, Julian, is about seven years older than John was at the time of his death.

    I was also 16 and was enjoying some of the songs they were playing on the radio from "Double Fantasy" and was thinking about getting it. For some reason I distinctly remember standing in front of my dresser in my bedroom at my parents' house when I heard the news. Weird how you remember such specifics like that.
