| Thanks, Glenn! I thought it was well put together too. Like you, I barely made it into the baby boomers, so I only know any of these faces from pictures and history. I was so young at the time I didn't know they had lived or died. Cheryl, on the other hand, being age 110, probably remembers them all very well! :) |

Sorry, Kathy. I just had to turn it off as soon as the music started. I just couldn't listen to it again. I always start to tear up - even before the lyrics start - and I'm out of kleenex.
Peace!

Great post, Kathy. I remember all of their deaths (except for Lincoln of course!) and remember the sadness the country felt. Brave men, all of them, willing to put their lives on the line for their beliefs and in the service of their country. May God continue to raise up noble people to speak His truth. Darlene |

| Who's Dion? Unfortunately I am a baby buster. I just made the cutoff date - 1968 ;-) |

Pastor Tim, Dion was (is) quite the interesting person. He recorded several hit songs in the 50's and 60's including Runaround Sue and The Wanderer. Then in the '80's he had a "religious experience" and recorded Christain music for a while. Another interesting note about Dion: He was the one who was touring with Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper,and Ritchie Valens, but chose not to ride the plane the day they were all killed (aka "The Day the Music Died").
As for not being a Boomer, although advertisers are definitely love Boomers most, I'm quite sure God loves Busters just as much! :) |

Kathy, I love this song, and have enjoyed the interviews I've heard with Dion. I do have to get the Bronx Blue CD, I heard sections of it on one of the PBS shows and was amazed. I love how he's been able to keep his faith and still be a "real" musician! But that's probably another heated blog, eh?
Oh, and it's 40 years, right? |

| Thanks, Dennis! And speaking of songs we love, I love the Somewhere over the Rainbow version on your profile page! As for Christians recording secular music, I'm all for Christians in every walk of life, as long as their lives are Christ-centered! April 4 will make 40 years since MLK's assassination. (Is that what you meant by 40 years?) |

| Cheryl, at age 110 (according to your profile), you have a lot more memory to sort through than most of us! To have a memory at all is great! :) |

Kathy,
I found your blog through YouTube when I went to look up the MLK speech. Thank you for posting it and also for this video.....I remember the assassinations of JFK, MLK, and Bobby....it was a heartbreaking time in America, and still makes me cry. The fact that you would get hateful racist comments on the "I have a dream" video is sad, as it seems our country still has so far to go. The hateful, racist comments directed at Barack Obama have been depressing to me. And yet, when I think of what all of these men stood for, I have to believe there is still hope, and they would want us to press on.
Thank you for making these important pieces of history available. |
