    Imagine there's no heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people living for today

    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people living life in peace,

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people sharing all the world,

    You may say I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope some day you'll join us
    And the world will be as one

    I was headed to work the morning I heard that he'd been shot and died. I picked up a buddy who worked with me and neither one of us could really believe it. I mean...WTF?

    I remember waking up in the middle of the night with a strange eerie feeling that I couldn't understand at the time and couldn't get back to sleep, so after tossing and turning over and over, I did what I sometimes do in that situation which is listen to the radio for awhile...and as soon as I turned on the radio, I heard the horrible news.

    Cried like a baby...one of the worst days of my life.

    I was giving a friend a ride to work and when he got in the car he gave me the news.

    1980 was an eventful year. Lennon assassinated in December. But earlier in the year, the US beat Russia in the Miracle on Ice; The US boycotts the summer Olympics; CNN is formed; Mt St. Helens erupts; Ronald Reagan wins the election

    also, "Who Shot JR" is revealed (it was the scheming sister-in-law)
