I don't know, definitely was a bad day for John Lennon and those who cared about him but I wouldn't say it was a bad day for music - he already had a very large body of work by that stage, it's not like he didn't leave behind a large legacy. Imagine if he died in 1962 crossing the street to go to the studio or something.
Don't get me wrong, it's still sad that Lennon died, but from a "music history" point of view, I'd sooner mourn the death of someone like Ian Curtis who was also extremely talented and creative, but died before he got the chance to do anything much.

Mark David Chapman was denied parole earlier this year [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ0AhVyKCLY] which is just as well, because releasing him would equate to a death sentence. Someone would end that f*cker before he could take a second step out of prison, and I can't say I wouldn't cheer them on.
R.I.P. John.

It would be worth sitting in the Primer box for 30 years just to shove Chapman's copy of Catcher in the Rye down his throat. The good don't just die young. They get goddamn murdered.
