I was at home. My wife (at the time) was staying at the hospital with our newborn son...and I'd come home for the night. It was kind of nice to sit in the dark and listen to "grandchester Meadows" by Pink Floyd and smoke a joint. The luminous green light shone from the stereo receiver.
When I awoke in the morning and turned on the radio...I heard the news. And it was interesting to see all of the people from different walks of life who drove with their headlights on that day in honor of John. The last words he ever spoke were ..." I've been shot."
Roadking Reviewed by Roadking on . John Lennon was my Hero It was 25 years ago today that John Lennon was shot to death just out-side of his apartment building. I remember it like yesterday. I was in the back yard the following morning of his death tending my pot garden and my mother came running out in tears saying Johns been shot, John Lennon is dead... I couldn't believe my ears as I could never imagine anyone who would kill such a great peace activist, father, husband, song writer. We can only imagine what the world would have been like with him Rating: 5
