It's not important that John Lennon spent many years purging personal demons and finding his way. What's important is that he managed to rise above these problems, and endeavored to make the world a better place for humanity.

Through his music and activism, Lennon possessed the rare ability to raise the collective consciousness of the people. One can only imagine what the world might be today, had his life not ended so tragically 30 years ago tonight.

We heard about it on Armed Forces Radio, the only thing available to us there. And it was hot as hell there even in December.

Thirty years ago....where were you when John Lennon was killed?

In my mother's living room, listening to the radio while she was cooking.

My first reaction was "they shot John not Ringo?!".

Status: offline 		Hmmm lemme see now, I was 15 and getting towards the end of a 16 hour shift listening to SOD from memory and a waiter minced in and told me that someone had shot one of the Beatles.

I felt a bit empty until I found out it wasn't Sir Paul and then I went back to my work and music.

Those where the days, Waiters just don't mince the way their used to.
