"If that was James Dean"... How old are you? I'm 33 which is anything from this era, however I know who that is... So I say to the rest of you reading this... When Americans no longer recognize American icons, can you honestly say this country is not being flushed down the toilet?

I agree. It's kinda sad if you think about it... people forgeting stuff like that, if they took 2 secods to listen to music from before 2000, they would relize that the music from back then is better that the music today.

I knew about a lot of the symbolism in this song before, but this is the first time I realized that "the courtroom was adjourned, no verdict was returned" might refer to the JFK assassination and the Warren Commission report. Also the first time I've seen JFK and Jackie referred to as the "king and queen" -- I heard years ago that this line referred to Elvis and Connie Francis (the top female singer of the time)
