50th Anniversary Of JFK's Assassination--Its Lasting Effect On The U.S., The World

[childhoodsend50]

I wanted to share this YouTube musical/visual presentation reflecting on the lasting effects of JFK's assassination almost 50 years ago. I co-wrote the song "Childhood's End" and assisted in the video production.

Memorial and Tribute

I've been a lyricist/songwriter all my life, having the good fortune of working with a number of talented and gifted artists over the past 30+ years. The songwriting credit I'm most proud of is providing the words for "Shadowland", a song co-written with Graham Nash and Joe Vitale that appeared on Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young's first reunion album, "American Dream", certified platinum in 1989.

I was hoping someone might connect with this song and visual production in some way. Unfortunately, these days many young people today aren't fully aware of the lasting effect President Kennedy's assassination has had on our country and the world over the past fifty years. As the saying goes, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it". I think it's critical for our future that this moment from our nation's history is never swept under the carpet of the changing times. We owe that much to our children, our children's children and the future generations that are here long after we are gone..

Kind regards,

Nope sorry no one gives a shit about Kenneddy here. The only sad thing about his death is that it wasn't painful enough. The man had more than enough blood on his hands to deserve it.

Kennedy was an imperialist pig. Glad his dead.

I wish I was there to have seen Kennedy fucking die.

JFK and his precious brother bobby were the adoring lapdogs to Joseph McCarthy. Their father was a pro-fascist mobbed-up tycoon who bought their political careers for them.

Kennedy not only committed the US to the War in Vietnam, disgustingly and hypocritically comparing all dissenters to Chamberlain, he and his brother also committed the FBI to defame Martin Luther King and undermine the whole civil rights movement.

In her FBI files, gotten from the freedom of information act, Jessica Mitford found a document, signed by Robert Kennedy's assistant attorney general, listing her as one of the dissidents to be potentially locked away in a concentration camp system.

I get pissed off most when their assassinations are romanticized in the paranoid conspiratorial way that they are. Good riddance to both of them.

Kennedy was bourgeois but he was a true liberal he wanted immigration reform civil rights and to help the poor I think as time went on he really started becoming slightly more radical and that's why his own government killed him
I won't say he is perfect but he was a good man

There is that whole side of the conspiracists that believes JFK had a change of heart and wanted to turn everything around. I don't believe but it may be true, who knows?

There's no text on the internet. You can read it if you want to buy her memoir "A Fine Old Conflict" on page 318. I recommend you get it, I found it online for like 17 cents.

here's a youtube interview where she mentions it
