Is John quoting someone when he writes: "life is what happens while you're making other plans" ???? I'm all ears. |

Bear in mind, they were a link with my brother, a huge Beatles fan, who had introduced me to them by constant playing. In fact, I knew more about John than I did about my own brother! He'd died only a few years previously so things were still a little fragile. I really did 'break down and cry' and spent a great deal of the day just sitting and staring at nothing. Americans remember where they were when Kennedy was shot, Brits remember where they were when Lennon was shot. No-one cares what they were doing when Reagan was shot! LTS |

It was only later that I realised just what we have lost. Got tears in my eyes now actually! |

29 Oct 04 - 07:45 PM (#1311044) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: lennon quotation From: GUEST,Auggie-cookieless Lts Many of us on the nutcake-laden side of the pond remember where we were when we heard the news of Lennon's fate.I was watching Monday Night Football when Howard Cosell of all people(no way could you get further in personality from John than Howard was) broke in with the news. You just knew though, if it had to happen to anyone in the music world, no one would be a more likely candidate than John. The enormity of the loss was apparent immediately. With respect to your second point-yes , I remember exactly where I was when JFK was shot, but What? Reagan was shot? |
