60 years ago today, JFK was killed
« on: November 22, 2023, 03:51:33 PM »
And a conspiracy industry was born. As a Doctor Who fan, I've found the gradual increase in the attention paid to its anniversary, 60 tomorrow, to be somewhat odd. The assasination of Kennedy was in the terminology of Who, a fixed point in time. Even though when it happened I was busy foetusing, it was just always there, a time based Everest.

Over the years, it seems to have slipped somewhat, things that people can say where they were when they found out tend to do that for a rather obvious reason.

Here's a song that obliquely references it, written by another 1964 baby, but one that was only building up to glinting at the time.
