Things just changed

November 22, 1963.

From 1946 to 1963 America had a certain attitude.
Baby Boomers were popping out everywhere and
there was a certain feeling

INVINCIBLE might be the single best word description

And then in Dallas, Texas a moment in time took hold and things just changed and invincibility was replaced by

REALITY

CLEAR CRISP SOLID
REALITY

NO ONE WAS INVINCIBLE

but at the same time new MUSIC had arrived from England and reality suddenly had a fresh sound to go along with the hard hard edge.

And some of us started dancing and getting freaky and others went along with the hard edge flow and went to war while still others found that there was nothing better than being in school.

Looking back I'm pretty sure those who stayed in school, started dancing and getting freaky probably have the best memories even though they aren't sharing those memories with their children.......

Whatever anyone wants to say about Presidents and their achievements there is one certain fact about JFK and this fact dominates our American mentality

HE WAS BY FAR AND AWAY
THE
BEST LOOKING PRESIDENT
AMERICA HAS EVER HAD

(RR was way too old for this award)

BEST HAIR
BEST TEETH
BEST SMILE ( reagan and jfk tied)
BEST SENSE OF HUMOR
BEST GOLFER
BEST SPEAKER
BEST LOOKING WIFE
BEST BROTHER

When political historians start analysing his Presidency they really don't ever talk about the things that really matter.  Those 8 items above really really mattered to the American people.

IN FACT ALL EIGHT OF THOSE ITEMS.....STILL MATTER TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

And on November 22, 1963 a beautiful man had his head blown off and life has never been the same on Elm St. USA.

We always have a touch of caution hanging over our heads and I think that tiny cloud started in Dallas, Texas in 1963.

THE BIG CLOUD THAT FORMED FROM DEC 7 1941 WAS FIXED
THE BIG CLOUD THAT FORMED IN GERMANY IN 1938 WAS FIXED

the little cloud formed on 11/22/63
will never
be
fixed

It just sits there
and
waits
for another
storm
to
hit
our
hearts
