I was wrapping Christmas presents when I heard the news. I thought the radio DJ was making a very, very bad joke. Now I wish he were only making a very, very bad joke.
He is sorely missed!
I used to like Paul when I was little…thought he was cute and all that… But as I got older, from about 18 on, it was John who moved me, music-wise and philosophy-wise.

Seamus~Indeed.
Aimee~I think that’s what everybody thought. The same as when Freddie Mercury died. If only…
