Thirty-five years ago, John Lennon was shot in NYC. With much being made of this today, I figure let's have a thread. Although I'm not a fan of his politics, he was a very talented guy. (Didn't think my intolerant a** could separate the two, didja?) So where were you when you heard about it?
It must have been the next day, because I was riding with my mother in our LeBaron Town & Country wagon (faux wood-grain trim) on the Garden State Parkway when it came on the insomniac station that she listened to (Dan Fogelberg, et al). I had a friend named John Leonard, and I thought that's what the announcer said. So I asked my mother "Why would someone want to shoot John Leonard/" I don't remember if she was crying or not.
Anyways, that's my recollection. Discuss...

Could tell you where I was 911 when it got deathly quiet high in the Colorado mountains, Kennedy shot and the kids cheered in my Jr High here in Orlando, and the Challenger Blew up as I was driving to the hunt camp to turn off the water because of the freeze. Lennon was just not that important to freeze my memory in time

I don't remember,
I was 21 at the time.
Pretty sure I don't remember much from that year.

Loved The Beatles and Twisted and Shouted to all their 45's, but lost interest when they broke up and never followed any of them after that

I was in a nightclub in the metro Boston area listening to the Joe Perry Project.
Joe Perry formed his own band when Aerosmith split up. I was floored. I grew up singing Beatles songs with my mother. She often saw the Beatles in England and Ireland.
