It was 35 years today....

...John Lennon gunned down on the doorstep of the Dakota Building. Wow, seems like yesterday, and yet I suppose 35 years before that, WW2 had just ended.

I remember the day well. Went into school to hear from my friends he was dead. Head spinning. That night, the Beeb showed a 25 year old Lennon in Help!

He was just 40 when Chapman shot him - full of optimism, restarting his career.....

I was 16. I'm 51 now.

Ah, lad....

Huge fan of the music.

Not a fan of the man himself though.

Will always remember the News at 5.45 playing out with Imagine.

It was a major major shock that this could happen to a Beatle.

Still is.

"He was a complicated man,
but no-one understood him like his woman."

Can you dig it?

Can you dig it?

The woman he beat up regularly or the one he did heroin with?

Always remembered for being a bit handy with his fists, some pretty damn good music and leaving Cynthia on the Platform.

Not being funny here and no disrespect intended to any of his fans but.....for me he was just massively overrated.

But for that bullet he'd be on I'm a celebrity now and probably doing voice overs for washing powders.
