    That was exactly the way I did when my grandma died... I was laying in bed and my mom came into my room telling me my gradma was dead. I just sat in the bed for a while and I... I just layed back and slept a bit more. And she was still dead after I woke up. It wasn't a dream. It felt she will always be there and that feeling didn't go away. Only after weeks, months. No. To be honest, I feel her still whenever I step into her room.

    Paul was clearly in shock. When someone dies it doesn't always sink in & the last thing you want is press hounding you. Not everyone reacts the same way. When my Dad died I laughed silently at his funeral as I literally couldn't cry, it just wouldn't come out in any other way it was the strangest feeling I ever had to laugh while being grief stricken. John obviously didn't want a funeral. George's way of thinking is amazing & Ringo has always been more the emotional one. You don't have to be a crumbling mess ,crying all the time to be devistated by someone's death.

    I always feel so bad for Paul with that interview. His best friend was brutally murdered, he was in a state of shock, and then the press got in his face. Usually, he's a very chatty interviewee and knows how to take control of the interview, but here he was giving the briefest possible answers. And then EVERYONE vilified him for that "it's a drag" comment. Honestly, if he was able to say something more eloquent, that would probably be more indicative of antipathy since it would show that he's composed enough to make an official statement. But here, he can barely put anything into words. He got so much shit for not being able to compose a eulogy on demand. I'm glad you put the "Beautiful Boy" bit in there to show how hurt he truly was.

    George's reaction resonated most with me. My perspective is that when people die, they're never really gone. In our current state we can't see them anymore, but when we die, we'll see them again because then we'll be on the same plane, level, dimension, state of existence, whatever you want to call it. Under normal circumstances, we all have a duration in life and when it's finished, it's done and we're moved on to the next phase. You see it when people die naturally in old age and you look back/reflect on their life. Quite often, you see that they had their timespan with a definitive start, the things they did, impact they had on other people's lives and the world around them, and then everything gets tied up naturally and then the body breaks down and they pass away. Sometimes, if you think about events and changes that occurred after their death, it's quite easy to see how they would have struggled and/or would have hated it. It's kind of difficult to explain but there really is a tine and place for everything. Similarly, when we meet someone we love or conceive a child, there are so many variables that - had one or two been different - an entirely different chain of events could have unfolded.

    Honestly, poor Paul. He lost not only his best friend, but his wife as well in the span of a few years. Now he's 80, and Ringo just celebrated his 82nd birthday a few days ago. It's unbelievable to imagine outliving your friend for that long. Ok, I am gonna make an edit because if you counted the number of times people have said "uM acTuaLly, iT'S nOT a fEw YEaRs, iT's 18 🤓" You would be counting forever I swear to God shut up. Ok, A. It's not a few, but 18 years is a short time compared to the entire 80 years you have been alive, and even if it hasn't been a few years, it's still very tragic to lose your best friend AND your wife regardless. And B. Yes, I made a mistake, I DON'T NEED A TON OF PEOPLE TELLING ME THE EXACT SAME THING! YOU'RE NOT TELLING ME ANYTHING NEW.

Lennon was a magnificent man, talented beyond the norm, soulful in the way he put out those lyrics and interpreted them - best of all cutting edged in his appraisal of people and events. There's a bit of John in all of us maybe this why we love him so much and can't let him go.

They were married for 28 years before my father was killed in an accident. They loved each other very much, though, and I always think about how in those 28 years that they were married, John's legacy only continued to grow. They raised three children who incidentally adored The Beatles' and John's music long after his life had ended. The pieces we leave behind of ourselves are the pieces that those who loved us will carry after our time has come.

When we went and watched Get Back in the theater, I'd say 80% of the audience ( my wife and included) just started to sob. There was no controlling it, nor did we feel we had to. It was a beautiful shared moment amongst us old Beatles fans.

There were probably hundreds of people swarming him and he looked like he could barely get his thoughts together. It's impressive how he remained gentle and kind-hearted. I can't imagine how much stress he must've felt. It's one thing to lose someone, buts it's another thing to have cameras shoved in your face after that loss.

He replied that, at first, they had bodyguards and took security measures for not only themselves, but their families as well. But after awhile, he commented, they eased up and didn’t feel they needed that degree of protection. (On a side note, George would later be attacked at his home by a knife-wielding assailant.)

    He was mocking the interviewer he wasn't saying John's death was a drag. Why don't people get that? He was mocking the interviewer for trying to pry stuff out of him then not being happy about not getting much from paul. Plus he was also gobsmacked and wasn't prepared to have to deal with media after his best friend was killed. No one can be ready for that.

    I was working at a California Tower Records location when John Lennon was shot and killed. On the next day (mid-morning) after his death, one of my work mates requested of me to conduct a moment of silence in tribute to J L that same day at 2pm. I do not remember everything I said, However I do recall expressing my heartfelt thanks to John Lennon's creative musical greatness (along with all the Beatles,) for the joy and harmony he ( they) brought to our planet. I loved the Beatles, and I loved/luved John Lennon. Thanks Mark Swann for asking of me that day.

    It must have been such a surreal time for his loved ones. When someone passes so suddenly it almost doesn’t feel real and then one day it hits you and the pain of their loss is there forever. Ringo’s interview showed such a gentle and deep side of him. I lost my best friend tragically, it felt like I had been hit upside the head and my whole world was altered.

    The Beatles NEVER forgot who they were, or where they came from. They were 5, then 4 working class fellas who wanted to make music. They made the most surreal music this planet has ever heard, or ever likely to hear again. I often wonder if John had lived, could he have handled the way the world is now? Whether it would have worn him down until he faded? He should have had that choice. John was killed when his spirit was at its strongest, he was free, and he still remains as such. Nothing ever dies.

    Never forgot where they came from, but certainly didn't want to live in it! They would not be seen dead in Liverpool once they made it big. I once read there was a celebration in Liverpool, and Paul would not attend. They all bought houses in the south - didn't even move to the Wirral, or a posh part of Liverpool. Left it completely. Like Cilla Black, and Michael Jackson would not live in Indiana, once he had cash. Wanted luxury in California.

    Wow. Thanks for sharing. ..I was born in '81. ..Was listening to the cassette tapes of MMT, Seargent Peppers, Revolver, and the White Album regularly by age 7 or 8. (Thanks Dad for recording your Vinyl to tape (major downgrade), and saturating my mind with what is now such a SOLID musical foundation I will carry with me through this lifetime - and hopefully several more.) Even though John was 'tecnically' before my time, he has been one of my strongest influencers to this day. I've teared up several times while lost in thought about that TRAGIC night. How? What? of ALL people.. -As I entered my teens, I found grunge - or it found me. I was no longer an innocent, naive 7 yr old spinning in circles to I am the Walrus, Penny Lane, Rocky Racoon, and Bungalo Bill!! ..The wicked 90's form of 'teenage angst' ended up delaying my innevitable transition to an easy going Deadhead thats been to over 50 Phish shows - for about 10-15 years. lol) NiRVANA was it. Kurt was all over my walls. I listened often. I read & analyzed every lyric - then wrote them all over my notebooks in school, etc. I couldn't wait for In Utero and MTV Unplugged to be released. Was always thinking about/planning on going to my very first concert. I found 'my Beatles'. Etc. Etc. ..Then it happened. It just seemed - and still seems, just really weird. My thoughts didn't make sense. Kurt was supposed to get all old looking and make a YT video of him playing 'Old Age' in acoustic-Unplugged style - SEE: kzread.info/dash/bejne/hqRqu5VxddynpbQ.htmlsi=wQX3gp6-Ivwwvts6 OK. Full Circle: Kurt was a huge Beatles fan - especially of John. ..It wasn't until Kurt died that I even thought about John Lennon's beyond tragic murder. As incomprehensible and worrld-shattering as it was; I wasn't a born-too-late-soul that will never understand Beatlemania or John Lennon. It took death to understand death. John Lennon and Kurt Cobain were very different people in many ways - but, also very similar in many others. .. I missed out on the life and death of John Lennon/the Beatles - but I found my own John.. and my own Bealtlemania.. -Nirvanamania. .....Sorry for soooo many words. I got a bit carried away in my thoughts. If it ends up just being incoherant rambling, it's prob bc I'm still struggling to make sense of the tragically short lives of such culture-changing geniuses - John & Kurt, ..and Jerry & PigPen, ..and Jimi, ..and Janis, ..and The Lizard King, ..Brian Jones, ..Shannon Hoon, ..Tupac, ..Biggie, ..Ronnie VanSant & Duane Allman, ..Elvis, ..Buddy Holly & Richie Vallens, ..Otis Reading, ..Freddie Mercury, ..Amy Winehouse.

    That’s very understandable and kinda morbidly relatable, the thing George says about just going back to sleep after getting the horrible news. If you’ve never gotten news like that it might seem callous or like he just didn’t care, but in reality it was exactly what he said. It’s your brain just trying to reject the information, and you just go back to sleep to avoid the reality of it. The sad thing with that is I’m sure when he woke up again there was a fraction of a second where he thought it was just a dream, or he forgot about the news he initially woke up to. But then that realization sank in that it was real and that’s just the worst feeling ever I can’t imagine their pain

I decided to go up to my room and hit the bed. After a shave and a shower I climbed into bed and turned on a clock radio that was sitting on a nightstand next to the bed. At the time, Larry King had a nighttime radio talk show and I tuned into that. The very first words I heard him say were “And now for some unbelievably terrible news.” I got very little sleep that night.
