November 22, 1963 to December 8, 1980
The most incredible time in American history. Kennedy assassination to Lennon's assassination. Everything before 11/22/63 and after 12/08/80 is just filler and purely boring. Talk amongst yourselves.

5. Oh, it does. I was born in 1961
I'm talking about events and happenings. Everything has been predictable and boring since 1981.

7. Yes, and they may be included when Obama assumes office
He could make it very exciting. It sure has been a boring 28 years since Lennon was shot.

8. A great year, 1969
That was the month Paul McCartney and John Lennon got married (not to each other, lol). John was then to proceed to his "bed-ins." And, of course, Abbey Road was about to come along.

19. I was in the 1st grade
remember the horror. Such a nice sunny day on the playground, and then the teachers suddenly got sad and motioned to us that recess was over....Six months before Lennon died, my mother passed on. Lennon was my first boyfriend. I thought it had been a terrible year.
