Subject: RE: Where were U 19yrs ago- Lennon was shot?
I didn't think John Lennon was particularly important to me; but for some reason, his death does stick in my memory. The candlelight vigil for him in downtown Sacramento is an image that comes to mind more often than I'd expect. Why is the memory of Lennon's death stronger in my mind than the 1993 death of Cesar Chavez, for example?
