What do you say about a man who words have touched so many people, 35 years ago today this man would be silenced by someone who wanted no more than fame for his actions.

I remember hearing the news that John Lennon was shot, and my first thought was 'Why' John Lennon is a rock singer who promoted peace and love, who would want to kill him?

When the news came out that a man named Mark David Chapman waited out side of the apartment building where John Lennon lived, and shot him in the back as he was walking into his building, like many I thought what a cowardly act.

John Lennon was making a big comeback, his album 'Starting Over' was getting good reviews and air time on many radio stations across the world.

John Lennon touched so many lives through his music and peaceful demonstrations, and aside from that, he was a husband and father.

Today many of us will remember where we were when the news came to us, John Lennon is no more.
