Yes...to a degree. I was a kid and I walked into the neighborhood penny-candy store (oh, I loved those shops) and there was a newspaper with the front-page headline about it. The adults were talking about it. I thought it was terrible that someone would be murdered just because of being a singer. Being a kid, I didn't really get that people are killed too often, for even lesser reasons, but as a 9 or 10 year old kid, that's what I remember thinking.
I woke up to the news on my radio-alarm. The DJ sounded choked up. My mum had been away that night so she called in the morning. I cried when I told her and then went to school. The whole day was a wash-out with girls crying and even some teachers seeming stunned.
I felt physically sick for 3 days.
I think I heard it early in the morning in the UK
Yes. I was actually in the middle of reading the interview he did for Playboy.
Yes, I was masturbating when it happened!!
If your old enough to remember, what were u doing when u heard?
