  1. Mahalia Jackson also sang at the funeral of Martin Luther King.
  2. For me, the most obvious example of manipulation to the Zapruder film can be seen in frame 350. Notice the grass in the street between Clint Hill and the limousine in the lower left hand corner of the frame. https://www.assassinationresearch.com/v2n2/zfilm/zframe350.html
  3. Dion, 1968, before the second assassinations off JFK, RFK and MLK had occurred..
  4. Mahalia Jackson recorded this heartbreaking version of In The Summer Of His Years on November 29, 1963...
  5. Especially haunting considering that fellow folk singer Jim Glover said that Ochs told him that he was a "security observer" in Dallas on 11/22/63...
  6. Not a song about the assassination, but a reaction to it. As Richard Metzger wrote in 2015: After the tragic events in Dallas, Garland, then doing a weekly series on CBS, went to the network executives with the idea to do a tribute to the fallen President. They were very cool to the idea. One of the CBS brass is alleged to have told her that in a month or so, that no one would even remember Kennedy! Undaunted Garland chose to end her next show with a powerful performance of “Battle Hymn of the Republic” that left no one, but no one wondering who she was singing it for. (According to Garland’s daughter Lorna Luft, in the studio Garland had said “This is for you, Jack,” but it was edited out for broadcast...) https://dangerousminds.net/comments/watch_judy_garland_sing_her_heart_out_for_jfk
  7. Phil Ochs, live in Montreal, on October 22, 1966... And another interesting introduction: "You're under arrest, lock the doors...(laugh)...it worked...(laugh)... -long pause- (tuning) "As you know, I'm a folk singer for the F.B.I..." -longer pause- (more tuning) "Here's a song, about the Kennedy assassination called The Crucifixion..."
  8. On December 6, 1965, on the album Turn! Turn! Turn!, the Byrds released He Was A Friend Of Mine, a traditional song that Rodger McGuinn had rewritten and transformed into a eulogy for JFK. On June 17, 1967, after an incendiary introduction by guitarist David Crosby, the Byrds performed the song at the Monterey Pop Festival.
  9. Well said. The time that Bob Dylan walked off the set of the Ed Sullivan show: https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/bob-dylan-walked-out-ed-sullivan-show-censor/
  10. There's some beautiful stuff on the Bootleg Series set that covers Dylan's gospel phase. I think that the previously unreleased "Making A xxxx Out Of Me" is a gem.
  11. I don't believe that Bob Dylan ever worried much about being popular, given his penchant for alienating large segments of his audience (i.e. by "going electric" in 1965 or by converting to Christianity in 1979.) I also believe that Dylan was well aware of the potential of becoming a victim of the mindless menace of the violence.
  12. Who decides which textbooks are used in classrooms? I don't disagree with your premise, in a few generations the majority of Americans will believe that Oswald acted alone. Consensus is shaped over time, and time has always been on the side of the forces that murdered JFK. But consensus doesn't equal truth. Tragically, History is written by the victorious.
  13. Consensus does not equal truth. And please define "legitimate".
  14. I find it difficult to respect a man who worked tirelessly to continue to spread the big lie: that JFK was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald and Lee Harvey Oswald alone. That he was "brilliant" only compounds my contempt. His passing doesn't change my feelings. However, condolences to his family.
  15. The only "dead soul" is the author of this anti Dylan hit piece. It reads as if were written by Mark David Chatman.
  16. Somewhere in the video record of Oswald's interactions with the press during his three days of captivity he says something that I've always construed as a limited admission of involvement: "I have committed no acts of violence."
  17. The film is worth checking out. Not to give away the ending, but it's tragic that the killers of JFK will never face similar justice.
  18. An excellent film. Some parallels to the JFK assassination.
  19. During Finck's testimony to the Warren Commission regarding C.E. 399 the following exchange transpired: Mr. SPECTER. And could it have been the bullet which inflicted the wound on Governor Connally's right wrist? Colonel FINCK. No; for the reason that there are too many fragments described in that wrist.
  20. As far as I can tell it looks like it'll only be available as an e-book.
  21. This is somewhat off topic, but I've often wondered if the motorcycle officer who peels off from the other riders and continues straight onto the Elm St. extension (this can be seen in Zapruder frames 17 to 27) has ever been identified.
  22. Albarelli's book (Kindle only) is available (pre-order) on Amazon and slated for release on 3/30/21.
