I was in 7th grade, which I remember because I had bought the 45 of “Starting Over” as a gift for my friend Robin’s 13th birthday party. I’m not a Yoko hater, but I have to admit I still wish this was an all-Lennon album. Some of his best solo work, which makes you think about where he would have gone next.
Somehow I only heard the news on the way home from school the day after. To this day I don’t understand how nobody was talking about it at school. But then again I was only nine years old at the time and maybe there weren’t many Beatles/Lennon fans amongst my peers. I still remember exactly where I was when the news came on the radio. Devastating.
Yes, I can understand that at age nine, students wouldn't be cognizant of what had happened. I didn't get into music until I was 12/13. Such a devastating loss.

Yes, it really makes you think of where John would have gone next. He was so back into making great music.

I’d grown up listening to my dad’s Beatles records, hence my love for Lennon and all things Beatles, especially at that age
I remember that day clearly. Devastated. Also love 'Double Fantasy' for many of your reasons.
Yes, such a devastating loss.
John’s my first musical hero. He’s the only music tattoo I’ve ever gotten.
Cool! What’s it of?
It’s the self-portrait he did.
Awesome!
