Uncle Joe Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Maybe it's just me, but "JFK blown away " is a bit over the top and harsh, don't ya think? Well, everything in the song actually happened. I guess the phrasing is a bit blunt. Let's see, what could he have said...Hmmmm JFK, shot dead, that's what I said. No. JFK lost his head.... uh, nope. JKF wounded bad Now isn't that real sad Yeccccccch. JFK, blown away what else do I have to say That gets it done. See, it aint so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I think the Kinks worded it the best in "Give The People What They Want": MUSICAL INTERLUDE: "When Oswald shot Kennedy, he was insane But still we watch the reruns again and again We all sit glued while the killer takes aim....... 'Hey Mom, they got a piece of the President's brain.' Give the people what they want You gotta give the people what they want Blow out your brains, and do it right Make sure it's prime time and on a Saturday night. :guitar: :guitar: :guitar: :guitar: :guitar: :guitar: You gotta give the people what they want You gotta give the people what they want."

Tenacious_Peaches Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I think Billy made it harsh to get his point across. What I think is harsh is that apparently there is a video game where you are the gunman and are able to shoot JFK. I've not seen it, but I heard it was very realistic. You have to go far down the road to offend me, but I think that is in bad taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addictedtoclassic Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Sometimes you have to be brutally honest in your music in order to get the point across. If people get upset, then don't listen to it. Because it's better to just come right out and say it then weasel your way around with metaphors and innuendos.
