mick2me 3,033 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I wonder what musical masterpieces we have missed out on as a result of this event in history? http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/december/8/newsid_2536000/2536321.stm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I was at a party in West Bridgeford (can't remember the road name ,long back road near Asda begins with 'B' I think)when we got the news. My pal was a big fan and walked into the garage and proceded to throw a half dozen eggs at the wall (for some strange reason) (Boxley drive maybe) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blondie 1,392 Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 I can remember it coming on the news, my horrible mother in law came round to visit us and was causing her usual trouble, she tried for years, to split up my hubby and me, she specialised in destroying peoples happiness, something she could not bear to see, (a miserable, frustrated, bitch)...... I was wishing at the time that someone would get a gun and shoot her........... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Listening to music thinking about the impact of John Lennon's murder,it was huge; I was working in a nightclub kitchen all day and didn't hear until bar staff member told me. We closed early and went to the Areba. In my lifetime,JFK and Diana and Lennon were the biggest public outcries of public affection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Coffers77 34 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I went into the kitchen at home to iron a shirt for work when I heard. I was twenty. I swore aloud in anger and sorrow. It hit me hard that you could stand for a belief based on peace not war but someone could find an excuse to callously take that person's life away. Also that such beauty could be embodied in one person's music and it could be ended in an act of crass violence. It all seemed such a shame. History has revealed that Lennon had some pretty bad traits but he had good ones also. As others have posted it was a momentous day when he died. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 I'd need hypnotizing to find out what I was doing that far back, all I do know is I was living and working in the Wollongong area of NSW, probably down the beach enjoying the late Australian spring weather. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,270 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Ayeupmeducks #15 We lived in the south of Sydney at the time and we and our kids were on North 'Gong beach every weekend, and like you and poohbear#12 I can vividly remember where I was when Kennedy was assassinated, and when Armstrong set foot on the moon, but for the life of me cannot fix where I was when I heard the news about Lennon. Strangely enough I can remember exactly where I was when the Aussies won the Americas Cup in September 1983. Another September date fixed in my mind is 11 September 2001 (9/11) I had fallen asleep in the lounge chair with the TV on and awoke to what I thought was a film, unfortunately it was all too real.

OrphanAnnie 296 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 I'd been summoned to school to collect my sick daughter, as I was tucking her in on the settee I had the TV on and the news was coming through. So poor child had to sit through that instead of the cartoons I had promised her!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OrphanAnnie 296 Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Coincidentally it's Yoko's birthday today - in 1973 she was voted the most hated woman in Britain, would it be because she was blamed for John moving to America?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brit45 10 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 I was laying in bed, 4.00am, listening to the radio and it came on the news. Shattering for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
