My own story of Where were you when…..
I believe it was around 7:00 pm, maybe 8:00, and it was a Monday.
I was just getting ready to walk up to the Luck Toy, from my then apartment, about a block south.
It was a regular Monday evening happening; meeting a friend of mine from a job I’d left six months previous, for a couple beers. A friend of hers/ours worked Mondays.
I had just put my jacket on, and was just getting ready to turn the stereo off, which was on KJR 950 AM, then a Top-40 Station.
The DJ, (I almost want to say that it was Marty Riemer—but in any case, locally known at the time) said something to the effect of:
“…terrible news, if it’s true. John Lennon has been shot just outside of his apartment building in New York….”
