Punk rockers like me didn’t like Bill Graham. https://www.betweenthecovers.com/pages/books/387542/anti-bill-graham-punk-flyer <quote on> Anti-Bill Graham flyer from 1981 distributed after Graham, who had organized a paid Clash show in Berkeley, threatened legal action when the New Youth Organization attempted to put on a "people's" Clash show at a much lower cost. This drew the ire of *Maximumrocknroll* founder Tim Yohannon, who invited Graham to come on air for an interview. His ensuing verbal assault led to Graham storming out in anger. The flyer advertises that appearance on the *Maximumrocknroll* radio show with Graham as an octopus clutching a casket labeled "sixties youth culture" (as well as various music venues). Although Graham was one of rock music's most important and influential promoters, helping the careers of numerous figures through his Fillmore venues and other activities, his business practices were often described as monopolistic. This flyers illustrate that concern, and also demonstrates hardcore punk's break with the hippie movement as clearly as any printed material we've seen. </q> I went to the Bill Graham Clash show, but missed the renegade Clash show at the Temple Beautiful. Early 1979.

Sam’s Hof Brau. Been awhile, but I think it’s still there.

My guess is — neither Mantik nor DiEugenio pointed it out. It’s their omission, too. Leads me to believe they didn’t read The Last Investigation — Fonzi emphasized the clothing.

Cory, the good news is we’re in action on the brat ‘n’ brew with the Reiner/O’Brien podcasts. In Episode 2 O’Brien brings up the Gaeton Fonzi - Arlen Specter interviews from 1966. O’BRIEN: “When Fonzi presses Specter about whether he factored eye witness accounts into the construction of [the SBT], Specter responded, ‘That’s a good question. No one has asked me that question.’” Close, but no brat. Fonzi pressed Specter about the bullet hole in the shirt, and Specter had a nervous breakdown. How did they miss that?

Do I need to listen to the entire 160 minutes to verify that “comprehensive” Jim DiEugenio ignored the genuine physical evidence — the bullet defects in JFK’s clothes? If he did cite actual physical evidence, I’ll buy Cory Santos a brew and a brat at a Vegas A’s game.

And this fragment of glass was removed prior to the autopsy? And this glass fragment left a hairline fracture of the right T1 transverse process and an air pocket overlaying the right C7/T1 transverse processes. The Magic Glass Theory? A fact which accounts for the hairline fracture at T1.

Indeed. http://www.aarclibrary.org/publib/church/reports/vol1/pdf/ChurchV1_6_Senseney.pdf It was also discussed by the autopsists with the body in front of them. This scenario cannot account for the hairline fracture at T1.

Must you spin the fact that the autopsists shared a “general feeling” JFK was hit with a high tech round? “Some have mused” is a bit disingenuous. A claim counterfeited by the hairline fracture of the right T1 transverse process.

I’ll buy Cory Santos a brat and a brew at a future Oakland Athletics of Las Vegas game if Reiner ever refers to the genuine physical evidence in the JFKA — the bullet holes in JFK’s clothes.

I like the autopsists “general feeling” — JFK was hit with a high tech round. I like the cervical x-ray which shows a hairline fracture of the right T1 transverse process, which must have resulted from the throat shot.

Significant portions of my adulthood were spent at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum Complex. Raiders and Warriors season tix. Didn’t need season tickets for the A‘s; I’m a Giants fan primarily anyway. I’d love to sell bootleg merch in Vegas — The Oakland Raiders of Las Vegas

You find it logical that all the autopsy witnesses to the probing of the T3 back wound got it wrong?

No, it didn’t cover the back wound. True, the back wound was after the throat wound — balling his fists in front of his throat is a reaction to the throat shot.

Sorry Cory. The JFKA False Mystery Industry doesn’t do real physical evidence. They’re obsessed with fakes like CE399 or distracted by the Oswald Assassination. Just as well. I’d probably have to take out a loan to buy a brew and brat at a Las Vegas Athletics game — they gotta get back all that stadium money the A’s fleeced from the Nevada tax payers.

Somewhere in Hell, C.D. Jackson and Henry Luce are smiling. ”They’re all our children now.”

They were two inches off on the back wound. Unprofessional.

Missed the T3 back wound by two inches. The SBT was debunked in 1966. The False Mystery Industry will never let it go — always coming up with “breakthrough” SBT debunking.

Did Paul Bleau refer to the extant physical evidence at Lancer?

Another problem with Griffith’s analysis is the 56 earwitnesses who reported a “bang...bang-bang” shot sequence. According to Griffith the first two shots were close together.

Glen Bennett’s account counterfeits this theory of an early back wound. Bennett could not have witnessed an early hit.

Not obvious at all. Gil Jesus has speculated JFK was trying to cough up the throat bullet. SSA Glen Bennett wrote that afternoon that he saw JFK hit in the back right before the headshot. He wasn’t in a position to see a shot circa Z232, as proven by Willis 5 and Altgens 6. Are we supposed to believe a shooter intended to fire a short load — which would have traveled 90 yards in swirling wind with no appreciable loss of elevation? Another crock to obfuscate the back wound.

It’s good news that belief in the LN doubled in the past 22 years? I pin that on the CT Complexity Fetish. Do you discuss the extant physical evidence (bullet holes in clothes) in your book, Michael?

Thanks, Roger. The False Mystery Industry grinds on. What’s the point of establishing two shooters by citing the clothing evidence when you could spend 90 minutes making a case it takes an advanced degree or two to verify?

Any mention of the extant physical evidence in the JFKA at Lancer or Duquesne? Anywhere?

I promised Cory Santos I’d buy him lunch if the extant physical evidence (bullet defects in JFK’s clothes) is cited at any conference or media event (Black Op Radio, Kennedys and King) related to the 60th Anniversary of the JFKA. I’m counting on fellow Ed Forum posters to keep me apprised. What kind of lunch? A brat and a beer at a Las Vegas Athletics game.
