Galapagos, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Nov 22 (Saturday), 10 pm to 4 am.

DJ Edelweiss presiding. No cover, so bring your friends.

"Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones, "Civil War" by Guns N Roses, "Jackie O" by John Cougar, and "The Day John Kennedy Died" by Lou Reed will absolutely not be played, and neither will anything by either Single Bullet Theory or Lee Harvey and the Oswalds.

Or the Jack Rubies, for that matter.

Several different songs named "Space Cowboy" are possible, however.

How about "Amerikan in Me" by the Avengers?

― Rockist Scientist, Saturday, 22 November 2003 01:52 (twenty-two years ago)

How about every Psychic TV song ever with a JFK sample in it?

― Rockist Scientist, Saturday, 22 November 2003 01:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I s'pose anything by the Dead Kennedys would be out of the question?

Anything Cuban.

President's bullet-ridden body in the street
Ride, Johnny ride
Kennedy's shattered head hits concrete
Ride, Johnny ride
Johnny's wife is floundering
Johnny's wife is scared
Run, Jackie run

Texas is an outrage when your husband is dead
Texas is an outrage when they pick up his head
Texas is the reason that the president's dead

No, we need a drink-out party on the 6th floor of the Book Depository (now a museum) where we get a complimentary rifle.

I vote for the Kinks:Give The People What They Want. It would be cool to hear playing in a bar really loud:"When Oswald shot Kennedy he was insane and still we watch the reruns again and again, we all sit glued as the killer takes aim, look ma there goes a piece of the president's brain!" some of that punk rock 80's kinks is the coolest. dave davies solo in the 80's isn't your best bet however.

Was Not Was' "11mph":

Lee Harvey O. was made to order
A radical nut, a drifter and a boarder
Earl Warren got a version out fast
America was happy, the patsy had been cast

The Byrds' "He Was A Friend Of Mine"

He was in Dallas town
He was in Dallas town
From a sixth floor window a gunner shot him down
He died in Dallas town

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Saturday, 22 November 2003 08:54 (twenty-two years ago)

How about "Used To Be," by Stevie Wonder and Charlene? You know, "Superman was killed in Dallas/There's no love left in the palace/Someone stole the Beatles' lead guitar." Another possibility would be Styx's 1979 open letter to Ted Kennedy, "Eddie." ("Eddie, now don't you run/You know it's the end of your fun/And you saw just what they've done/To your brothers.")

Magazine- Motorcade

Bouvier till her wedding day
Shots rang out, the police came
Momma laid me down on the front lawn
And prayed for Jackie's strength.

"Remember JFK, ever saintly in a way / something something Jim Morrison / I just shot John Lennon / Bang bang bang bang" is the way that Cranberries song went, to the best of my recollection.

"Family Snapshot" would work fine here too.

...er...by Peter Gabriel, I mean.

Alex,As your Misfits photo loaded, I thought you had it permently displayed on your wall. I begin to form this image of your apartment with Killing Joke stubs and wine labels displayed on your head board with ducttape and chewing gum. Then the rest of the picture loaded and I realized that I should get broadband.

Steinski-

"More details! Just arrived! Mrs. Kennedy jumped up, she called 'oh no!', 'oh no!', "oh no!'. The Motorcade. Sped on".
