Kennedy shot? I was pissing up against a wall in a primitive toilet outside a pub in Oxford before going in to a folk club session. The bloke next to me says "Have you heard - they've shot Kennnedy and the Vice-President".
The rest of the evening was weird. All songs about Presidents and other people getting shot,and American students being very intense and shaken. They really minded. I don't think there's been a President since that would get that kind of reaction in a bunch of students.
