42. I didn't hear until the next morning.
I was in ninth grade. I had gotten up very early to get ready for school, and my younger sister (with whom I shared a room) was still asleep. I sat on the floor in front of the mirror, curling my hair, listening to my radio with one of those old earpieces you stuck in your ear.

I remember it distinctly - Boston's "More Than A Feeling" was on, and as soon as the song was over, they repeated the news, as they did often all morning. I was horrified.

My best friend was a huge Beatles fan, and particularly a fan of John Lennon. She didn't go to school that day. She sat in her room in the dark all day, listening to Beatles records.
