Even though the song has nothing to do with the Kennedy assassination, it’s become identified with it through the years. I was nine years old, I remember one girl (whose father was an FBI agent) telling us “the Communists did it.” I didn’t know why it happened, but it was the end of our innocence. We just didn’t know it yet.
Don McLean:
It’s also the anniversary of my birth. Yes, this is my birthday. And on my birthday, for once in my life, I would like to not hear about the assassination of JFK.
It is entirely personal.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Another CIA job. Off-book, no accountability, black-op to “get America back on track” – to where we are now.
