Deus Ex Machina

If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.

Stained Class

I was in my first year in secondry school at the time.

I was on my way to Geography class when I noticed some of the older lads crowded round a newspaper.

Some of them looked genuinely shocked.

I knew something pretty heavy happend there & then.

At the time, I didn't know that much about John Lennon or the Beatles.

I found out pretty quickly though, what with all his music getting round the clock airplay in the aftermath...

Been a big fan ever since.:)

30 years ago, eh? Time flies....

Princess Peach

Totally read the thread as Jack Lemon, and I've only now discovered that he died 9 years. Nobody told me!

Anyway, I wasn't born yet when John Lennon was dead. I was an angel baby in heaven.
