Tommorow will be the day that John Lennon was shot. I just wanted to remind some of you of that tragic day we lost one of the greatest musicians of all time.
He was shot dead by that ******* that I will not disclose his name at the entrance of the building where he lived, The Dakota, on Monday, 8 December 1980; Lennon had just returned from the Record Plant Studio with his wife, Yoko Ono.
Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center, where it was stated that nobody could have lived for more than a few minutes after sustaining such injuries. Shortly after local news stations reported Lennon's death, crowds gathered at Roosevelt Hospital and in front of The Dakota. He was cremated on 10 December 1980, at the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York; the ashes were given to Ono, who chose not to hold a funeral for him.
I found this wikipedia website that has more information on his death and what actual transpired that day.

Any of you remember where you were when you heard that? I was a young Beatles fan and listened to a lot of my mother and uncle's records on the turn table and my mother broke the new to me. It was my first dose of reality that we are mortal.
The first time I remember someone that I idolized and wanted to be was now gone. It is still hard to believe some evil monster took a great man's life like that.
