It was 41 years ago this morning that I heard the news that John Lennon had been gunned down the night before in front of his NYC apartment. I was just getting ready to have breakfast and then go to work. That's when my Mother told me the news about him. I had a box of Cheerios in my hand and my Mother had to grab it from me before I spilled it all over the place. To say I was in total shock is an under statement. Being that I am a BIG TIME Beatles fan and a John Lennon fan well........ How could anyone cut down in cold blood one of the greatest talents/artist of the 20th century? To say that the world lost a very influential figure of the 20th century once again is an under statement. One can only wonder what John could have achieved in his life had he lived.
