Hard to believe it's been 30 years.

I was going to work early in the morning when I heard the news, I was still at my parents and I woke my dad up to tell him..he was as shocked as I was.
I always wonder what his musical direction would have been if he was still around and could you envisage him being a judge on the X Factor??
we will never know

I was 6 years old when this happened.  I remember it like it was yesterday (no bad Beatles pun intended).  I was already a rabid Beatles fan thanks to my father's fabulous record collection.  I couldn't understand why anyone would want to shoot him.  I still can't.

I was jamming at my friend's home basement studio.  During a break the phone rang - a friend from New York with the horrible news.  The only event I've ever experienced that was similar was the JFK assassination.  30 years?  Unbelievable!

I was watching a football game and Howard Cosell told me.

Carpooling to work, saw the headline in a newspaper box.  The entire carful was pretty speechless.  30 years -- wow.
