Additionally, Newsweek reports that in 1965 Lennon told a reporter: "We'll either go in a plane crash or I’ll be popped off by some loony."

    @Jayne Eyre No...he has expressed regret and is a model prisoner. The reason he'll never get out is that no parole board wants to have to deal with the absolute sh*tstorm that it would cause. If he'd shot a random guy he'd have been out by now. If he'd shot a minor popstar he'd also have likely been out. But Lennon...he's got no chance of ever getting out no matter how he behaves or what he does or says.

    Chapman is SO not getting out, ever. Period. Despite his good prison behavior over the past 38 years, it doesn't matter anymore. He took away on purpose, one of the greatest singer/songwriters that ever came from Liverpool, from his wife Yoko Ono, his two boys, and from every Beatle fans across the world. The Lord God may forgive Chapman and grant him eternal life come his judgement day, but us long-time fans just simply can't. He will be locked up until the day he dies, either by natural cause, disease, or suicide, whichever comes first.

I can imagine how the world felt when John was killed. Me and my dad enjoy The Beatles, their music and success. John really was a unique man and had a lot of talent. I even say he is my favorite Beatle. I do remember the day George Harrison passed and it was a sad day for me and many others. May John and George Rest In Peace. Long live The Beatles!!!

    I heard the news while watching johnny carson--this is an nbc bulletin--I thought the soviet tanks had rolled into Poland. No, out of the blue, lennon was dead. In those days I slept on the floor of my apartment on a pad with a little tv by me. the next morning I woke up, rolled over, turned it on and it was this Today show episode and I thought, "It's true. This really happened." Then as I drove to work I cried and punched my steering wheel. what a useless loss of genius.

    I usually don't get too emotional when a celebrity dies beyond saying to myself, "What a shame." I was a freshman in college when John Lennon was shot. I was in my car on the way to my first morning class and I remember feeling devastated. The world lost yet another beacon of peace on that day because some wacko felt he had a point to prove.

At 13 my life was built around the beatles and especiallity John. Just miss him very much. A long time fan. Rest in peace John. From Scandinavians. And me of course (especially). You were the best, with Paul right behind and of course George. And we won't forget Ringo. A big, big beatles star. You're Boys are Still famous in 2070. Or and 1962. Love you Liverpool

    Everyone has their own opinions, and someone doesn't need to be a fan of someone to feel sadness and sympathy over their loss. I myself am a big fan of the Beatles and of John Lennon's solo work, but I appreciate your weighing in on the tragic event of Dec. 8, 1980. John Lennon had some personal troubles and flaws, which he admitted to, but overtime he seemed to really try to improve himself, and a more peaceful, better world was something he genuinely wanted to see, and was interested in helping make this happen, if he could.

    I was a junior in high school. I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth getting ready to go to bed, I clicked on the bathroom radio and heard, "We have a report that John Lennon was shot in Ne York tonight. How serious is unknown at this point." Startled I turned on the Monday Night Football game (New England v Miami) because "ABC Nightline with Ted Koppel" was going to follow the game. It was delayed because the game went into overtime. Then Howard Cosell announced it and when he said the three words "dead on arrival" I had a chill go up and down my spine that I hadn't had before or since.

Han pasado tantos años pero, el legado que nos dejaste, hace imposible el querer o poder olvidarte. Ojalá estuvieras aquí hoy, junto a George y los otros. Fundaste el grupo musical más grande del siglo XX y, eso nos cambió la vida a todos, para siempre Descansa en paz, maestro irrepetible de la interminable lista histórica de auténticos grandes.
