ALLUSION: JFK's Death in Pop Music

[Ryan Goble]

Here are three tracks that mention the death of JFK

"Sympathy for the Devil" - The Rolling Stones

"Born in the '50's" - The Police

"We didn't Start the Fire" - Billy Joel

Any other JFK allusions in song's folks would like to shout out?

Ryan,

A few other allusions to JFK come to mind for me:

"Sleeping In" by The Postal Service
"Nice to be Out" by Stereophonics
"The Day John Kennedy Died" by Lou Reed
"Civil War" by Guns N' Roses

The GN'R allusion is pretty brief, but the other three are extended a bit if I'm recalling correctly.

Oh, and what about Marilyn Manson's "Coma White" video?
