25 years ago today, John Lennon was shot and killed in front of the Dakota Building in New York. Even though I was a toddler when the Beatles were active, they still had a great impact on me as a teenager and beyond. I can’t quite recall the moment in which I received the news of Lennon’s death, only that I was shocked and sad. Hard to believe that 25 years have passed since then.
