During a 1968 recording session of perhaps their most popular song ever, The Rolling Stones changed a major lyric in their song “Sympathy For The Devil” to reflect the ever changing world around them. The original line was “I shouted out who killed Kennedy, when after all it was you and me.” After Senator Robert Kennedy’s assassination on June 5, 1968, The Stones changed the line to “I shouted out who killed the Kennedy’s…” Signifying not only their belief that JFK wasn’t killed by the lone gunman Oswald, but perhaps that their was more to his brother Bobby’s murder also. The 1960’s were a time of turmoil that many people say began with President Kennedy’s assassination in 1963. My mother told me that it felt as if a public figure was dying or being killed every other day. JFK, RFK, MLK, Malcolm X, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison. The 60’s were a time of turmoil and unrest in our country that we hadn’t seen since the days of the American Civil War. Going back to the Stones, it just shows how crazy of a time it was and that at the turn of a dime you may have to adjust a line or even an entire song because people were dying left and right. RIP to the Kennedy’s and all of the members of the revolutionary movement of the 1960’s.
