We just paid our respects to John Lennon outside the Dakota, where he was assassinated 44 years ago this evening. I was 13 at the time -- too young to have experienced the Beatles phenomenon, but plenty old to appreciate him -- and just remember being stunned that something like this could actually happen. (The world was such a different place pre-Columbine.)

But no celebrity killing has ever been as shocking as that of John Lennon, who symbolized peace to a generation of people around the world.
