Sitting in class. Junior High. They announced it over the PA. A bunch of us spent the rest of the afternoon it one of the honors classrooms where the coolest teacher in the world let us sit and listen to tapes until school was out.

Wait, is that right? Maybe it was the Reagan thing they announced at school. My memory loves to juxtapose. I do remember sitting in the class listening to Lennon and Beatles tapes, though.

they announced Lynyrd Skynyrd's plane crash over the PA at my high school -- not exactly a John Lennon or anything, but people were still wandering around all stunned & sad & stuff.

In rolled the clouds in rolled the thunder
my loves gone my heart too
why is she gone where oh where
my heart lays bleeding my shoes are wet
the rain washes away as I lay down
in the ppol of my love's lost crash of thunder
I'm gone too.

I was in junior high, i was in bed listening to the radio not wanting to get up in the morning for school as usual. I cried and my mom made me go to school. The last thing I wanted to do was face school.
no cool teachers eased or acknowledged the pain, to my memory. I felt shattered and like nothing would ever be the same. and i don't think it ever was.
