Edit:
I just did a search you are right I don't see one. Agree then pretty sad, both but of course Pearl Harbor on a much much larger scale!!!!

if it slays you, then why didn't you create one?

Just one, but you better not miss, I don't.

But seriously, I actually heard that joke the day after Lennon was shot, I didn't just make it up.

Well its still dumb, and doesn't even make sense anymore because George Harrison has been dead for years.

Didn't find the time on the 7th. I usually don't create these types of threads. It is just an observation.

Well I wasn't born till late '70, so of course this doesn't have the effect on me as it might on others who were older.
I do think it's sad that he got shot, though. Just a waste.

As far as music goes, I like some of his/Beatles music, but not enough to make me mourn for him, although I have no problem with those who do, and I get why they do. I guess as far as musically, it is on level with the MJ death to me.

On an aside: With him and Sid Vicious, it just goes to show that musicians don't always get the "hot" chicks!
