a voice crying out in the wilderness, a prophet of his time. if George had lived we would never have elected Chump.
i was a freshmen in hi school, eating lunch when the news was JFK. most of us just walked home alone.
I don't remember where I was. All I knew was it bummed me the hell out. 40 years. Who knew they could pass that fast?
Maybe the only way you could walk away would be if you could perform the song better yourself? No effing way, speaking personally.
And my mom was ironing and watching 'As the World Turns'. I was nearly 6, and playing on the floor with my toys. I remember the special news report interrupted the soap opera, and my mom began to sob uncontrollably. She was a big JFK fan.
I called my step mom from Jr High and asked her to pick me up and take me home because I felt ill that morning. In the afternoon our next door neighbor came screaming to our kitchen door. She was hysterical because John Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas. I sure took notice of that and joined the millions of dazed and confused and depressed Americans. My father was a Republican of course, but he was away on a business trip and didn't spoil the mood.
