This is the anniversary of John Lennon’s death. Are you old enough to remember where you were when John Lennon died?
He was murdered 41 years ago today. There’s a lot online about Lennon being murdered with a gun. That’s true.
But I’m one of those people that think of John Lennon as more of a cultural rather than a political figure. He was a music icon. And he definitely took to political statements in his last years.
But his life and death are sentimental and personal to me.
I don’t spend a lot of time wondering if the murderer would have been successful with a knife instead of a gun.
I remember the day John Lennon died…
I’m 65 years old and I remember where I was the day John Lennon died.
I was really too young to appreciate the Beatles’ madness of the 1960s. But the “fab four” separately were a part of my late teen and early 20 years.
I believe I saw Paul McCartney and his group Wings in concert. But my alcoholism was a big part of my life back then. And the concert was a black-out for me. I was drinking so much that my memories are lost forever. I really think it might have been in Houston…oh well.
