        ...and the Rolling Stones had to re-cut "Sympathy for the Devil" before it was released so they could make this line plural: "I shouted out, 'Who killed the Kennedys?'" (True story.)

        When I first heard this in high school, I cried. It's still a heartbreaker.

        I was 9. Can not overstate the importance the song had on me musically, politically, and culturally. If I am correct--and I might not be--I heard Dion on the Glen Campbell Show--or was it the Smothers Brothers?--in the summer of 68.
