I was going to work early in the morning when I heard the news, I was still at my parents and I woke my dad up to tell him..he was as shocked as I was. I always wonder what his musical direction would have been if he was still around and could you envisage him being a judge on the X Factor?? we will never know |

I was 6 years old when this happened. I remember it like it was yesterday (no bad Beatles pun intended). I was already a rabid Beatles fan thanks to my father's fabulous record collection. I couldn't understand why anyone would want to shoot him. I still can't. |

I was jamming at my friend's home basement studio. During a break the phone rang - a friend from New York with the horrible news. The only event I've ever experienced that was similar was the JFK assassination. 30 years? Unbelievable! Bill, tgo |

Carpooling to work, saw the headline in a newspaper box. The entire carful was pretty speechless. 30 years -- wow. Rich |
