I was only 5 years old. But I've always been fascinated to hear what those who are old enough to remember when it happened were doing and how they reacted.

I was working a 4 to 12 in the South Bronx that night and heard about it before the news services broadcast it. My buddy worked Mid-town and gave me a call about it.

Planting the gun on Mark David Chapman.

I was walking around the local mall with my parents when some hysterical hippy was going up to strangers in order to tell them the news. I remember,even as a child, some of the impact it had upon the adults. Even my father was stunned and he didn't even like the Beatles or Lennon.
Reeshy...is that Rasputin in your sig? Now that's a new low! Just kidding :)
See Ya!

I was getting up for school, getting dressed and litening to Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys.

I was being awakened from a great sex dream by my wife at the time who gave me the news.
I wore black that day.

I was riding the school bus. This kid Frankie was talking about something important, so I asked what happened. The bus had just stopped on Elm Street, and Frankie told me to ask Marc, and Marc told me that John Lennon was shot. And I asked him if he was dead, and Marc said yes.
On a lighter note, Marc is now a urologist.

I was in 5th grade. Our music teacher had jammed with Lennon in the studio and was really upset that day.

I was watching Monday Night Football and Howard Cosell announced he was shot.

Thinking I'd rather be shot than married to Yoko Ono.
