2. I just got that album out

and lit a candle. I was in college in NYC when it happened and the whole floor of the art students' apartments were waiting in line to use the payphone. It was our "John Kennedy moment". I wore black for a month.

4. I purposely decided NOT to go to The Dakota

There was too much commotion and I felt I needed to be alone, listen to his music and grieve in my apt. It was a very difficult time for me since I was a huge Beatles fan. All my friends called me in the days afterwards, knowing I'd be hit hard.

5. Not anytime around the time of the incident, I

was thinking that we could have driven by the building years later when the hurt of his loss wasn't so new.

6. I finally went to the IMAGINE spot

in Central Park in 1993.

I just watched the beginning of Rosemary's Baby again, just to see the gorgeous Dakota interiors and the courtyard.
