John Lennon Remembered

John Lennon was killed 31 years ago today and I remember that night well. It was a Monday evening and I had just arrived home from hanging out with friends. It was right around 11PM. I lived about 50 miles north of New York City and the weather was warm that night. My father was watching Monday Night Football and he said to me that John Lennon had been reported shot. I went into my bedroom and put the radio on wanting to find out more news. I remember putting on WNEW FM which at that time was a rock station. The DJ announced that John Lennon had been murdered and he began to cry. The song he played was LET IT BE. I then turned the dial and it seemed like every station was playing Beatles music. I also remember my sister knocking on my door telling me of the news. I went to bed and fell right asleep. When I woke up, I was hoping it was just a bad dream. But it wasn't. 31 years later, his spirit of peace & love along with his great music lives on. Nothing can kill that.
