I was down in the basement playing with toys when my older brother, a big Beatles fan, told me that they had just announced it on Monday Night Football that Lennon was dead.

Tupak? I didn't care less.

Elvis? Too young to remember.

Princess Diana....

I remember her death well, because I was in the old Holy River chatroom, and buzz started circulating about she got into a car accident. All I thought was "Damn! Now all the tv networks are going to be airing breaking news over all the shows I like." I had a TV on behind me and sure enough, about 30 minutes after the buzz at the holy river, all the networks started speculating and mourning and replaying the same footage a million times.

I was camping up in northern Wisconsin with my wife and a bunch of her relatives, and someone finally flipped on a TV in the cabin and they had it all over the news. This is the same way I heard about Walter Matthau's death, too.

LETS SEE.....


John Lennon.....I was a year old

2Pac.....In Vegas


Elvis.....I wanna say he did, 75 or 76.so I would have been 1, 2 years of age

Lennon was December 8, 1980.

I was working as a waiter when I overheard on the news at the bar that Kurt Cobain was found dead. Fortunately it was at the end of my shift, because all I wanted to do was go home. I didn't hear the details, but I knew what had happened. When I learned the news later that night after I got home, what I had suspected was right. It wasn't much to guess. The next day I was glued to MTV, in shock the whole day. I think Cobain was the first famous person I'd ever been a fan of who died in my lifetime, while I was a fan. It was a weird little period of time in my memory.

i cried when tupac died.

i had a dream one night just before he passed that i needed to reach out to him (he was in the hospital).

i don't think anyone really thought he would die, because he had been shot before.

i was sitting on my couch in the living room and the news broke on tv and i started bawling.

he got such a bad rap after that in the papers - gangsta rap and all that - i wrote to my local newspaper supporting him and i wrote a letter to VIBE magazine that they published. i was really affected.

he was such a spark, such a strong life force. so sad it was quieted.

tupac = don't know, i didn't even care about 'im (still don't)

elvis = wasn't born/thought of yet

barry white = i was at home, listenin to the news and they announced it

kurt cobain = don't remember

Space Shuttle Challenger crew. I was waiting for my high school gym class to be over when the football coach came over to the teacher and told her that Challenger exploded upon take off.


Space Shuttle Columbia crew. It was the day of one of my annual Trek parties, and before people showed up I was just checking the forums at another website when one very recent post said to immediately turn on the TV, and there I saw the trail through the sky.

I know this is corny, but I dont think hes dead.....

I was 2 when Lennon died.

I hated the day Pac died.

I was in school when I found out Kobain died.

When Tupac died, my cousin woke me up the morning after and told me. I was shocked as hell.

When Princess Diana died, I got the news that very night, just comin in the house from a barbeque.

When Lennon/Elvis both died I was still in Heaven waitin to be conceived.

Lennon: Where was I, Fuck I can't remember probably in Reno Nevada,


This ones for number 32: When the chase was going on I was working at PT's old fashion Grille in Wilmington NC and I was getting ripped on by the nc boys cuz of the juice.


Yo Pej have you ever been to pt's grille and by chance have you ever been there on mushrooms while sitting next to a nc patrolman.

I was in elementary school when Marvin Gaye was killed. I remember hearing it on tv.
I was surfing the net when I read a post on a message board that Lisa Lopes died in a car crash.

I was watching MTV when I heard about Aaliyah being killed in a plane crash.

I was devastasted when Pac, Biggie, Left Eye, Pun, and Aaliyah died.
And I was the only 6 year old crying in front of the MTV breaking news screen when Kurt Cobain died. I didn't take that one well.

kurt cobain.

i was driving home in my car.

as soon as i got home, i called my boyfriend and we talked about it for hours.

I remember exactly where I was when I heard that John was dead. I was sitting in my bedroom and it came on the news. I was so sad and couldn't believe it. I started to cry as I am a big fan of his. I also know where I was when Elvis died. I was in Nova Scotia on a family holiday. This was also very sad news. As far as Tupac goes, I was never really a fan, so I don't recall the day. I respect the fact that he has many fans and is very popular in his genre of music, but the "thug life" doesn't appeal to me, so therefore, neither does the music. If you had've asked if I remember the day that Marvin Gaye died, I remember that also. I couldn't believe that his own wacky father shot him. What a waste. Marvin was a true talent, that's for sure.

I'm not joking, but I was taking a crap at my brothers apartment when he banged on the door to tell me that Tupac was dead.....

i wasn't born when elvis died (i think)

i was less than a year when lennon died.

i remember hearing about kobain while i was sitting in McD's, though i'm not a fan of his.

i don't remember tupac's death, not a fan.

but i remember princess diana's very vividly. i was at work, in the lobby of a hotel, watching tv. i saw the bit about the accident, and remember thinking, "gosh i hope she's gonna be ok. she's such a cool lady, i hope she doesn't die." a few minutes later it was announced. i went home and told my mom and she almost cried. she remembers watching her wedding. i was truly saddened by her death, and i think most the world was too.

I was in a library druring the news about John Lennon...

I was at work when I heard about Kurt Kobain....

I vaguely remembering hearing Elvis died on the TV....

Tupac... the car radio...

Barry White... probably the radio too, don't remember
