One of my employees whom i frequently talk music with placed the latest cover of Time featuring Lennon on my desk today, and I was curious the relevance, but that explains it. Admittedly not the biggest Beatles fan, but inexplicably realize their importance and mark on modern music. the world sure would be a better place if he was never assassinated.

It is strange. I remember where I was when heard that this had happened. but it was because I didn't know who he was and couldn't understand why people were so upset.

How old were you?

Sgt Pepper taught the band to play?

Me too. I learned about the Beatles because he died. I was 8.

I started listening to the Beatles at 16 yrs old, mostly out of curiosity. Why did every band I loved site them as an influence? 34 years later and I'm still discovering new reasons why they deserve their Legendary status.

I was in elementary school

Long article I read about his assassin makes it seem like if he hadnt gotten Lennon that day he was planning on killing David Bowie live on stage at his concert the next night. Murderer had a front-row ticket for the show in NYC, as did John and Yoko.

If you are too young or don't know the story, the last ever photo taken of Lennon is him signing an album cover for Chapman - his killer - earlier in the day.

The first celebrity deaths I can remember were he and John Belushi. I knew who both were because my dad was a Beatles fan and listened to their music in the truck and both my parents watched SNL at that time.

My favorite tasteless joke from when I was a kid.

"What would it take to reunite the Beatles?"

"Three more bullets"

Well, that and the one about the vampires and the tampons.

That scene in last year's movie "Yesterday" where they show the "what if" really got to me.

I didn't know what to think before I started the movie. I was kind of expecting it to be super cheesy, but the promos did a pretty good job concealing some of the storylines, and I thought the movie was extremely well done. I don't much care for the Beatles, but the story of "Yesterday" was a great tribute and the production was top notch.

That surprised me as well. Remember thinking "wow, totally forgot that possibility"

The entire theater gasped when the door opened.

Did Bowie cancel the show?

Sneak peek to Peter Jackson's documentary on The Beatles

I was 12 years old and watching MNF with my dad when Howard Cosell made the announcement.
