I was in 8th grade. Was up late watching MNF and found out via Howard Cosell. Dash posted the video. Sad day for music.

30 years went by so quickly.

I was swimming in my father's nut sack... Not to sound like an asshole. Not a huge fan of the music, but all in all a great human being, who moved a lot of people. The lyrics to "Imagine" are some of the best ever written.

Well, maybe people here identify with Lennon a little more than the victims of Pearl Harbor because they were able to pinpoint where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. I'm also not making any judgements but it makes sense that people feel more strongly about events that took place in their lifetime and not the distant or not-so-distant past.

I think I should create a twitter account, and that should get a sticky at the top, so you guys can follow the remarkable and entertaining life of Jeff.

I am not a huge fan, I like "Imagine" and some Beatles songs (Primarily Hey Jude) but it is a shame that it has to ahppen to anyone, especially him.
