I'm cursed with a memory for things, even those I'd like to forget, but I cannot remember hearing about John Lennon when it happened.  Although in 1980 on a Monday night I was probably already in bed with school the next day.

I remember all those things happening, sure, but I only remember where I was for Kennedy and 9/11.  Those were uniquely consequential events.
