Breaking News Alerts - It's been 36 times since the music icon's untimely extinction.
On 8 December 1980, John Lennon was photographed four times in the back outside of his apartment building in New York City.
He was 40 years old.
7 days after his death, millions of people paused their daily routines to honour Yoko Ono's request for ten minutes of stillnes in monument of his contributions.
30, 000 gathered in Liverpool, 225,000 in New York City's Central Park. The radios departed speechless, more.

" We've got this gift of compassion, but adore is just a treasured plant.... You've got to keep irrigating it. You've got to really look after it and foster it ."
" What we've got to do is impede hope alive. Because without it we'll sink ."
" If person thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his question. Love and treaty are eternal ."
" I can't wake you up. You can wake you up. I can't medication you. You can medicine you ."
" Our society is run by crazed people for crazed objectives. I think we're being run by maniac for maniacal resolves and I suppose I'm liable to be put aside as insane for expressed his hope that. That's what's insane about it ."
" Produce your own fantasy. If you want to save Peru, go save Peru. It's quite possible to do anything, but not if you keep it on the leaders and the parking rhythms. Don't expect Carter or Reagan or John Lennon or Yoko Ono or Bob Dylan or Jesus Christ to come and get it on for you. You have to do it yourself ."
