Re: JFK Assassaversary Conspiracy Extravaganza
One of only two 80s Twilight Zone episodes that I can recall watching*:

* The other is an adaptation of a Richard Matheson story about a couple being presented with a box that has a button in it. If they press it, they get a million dollars or something like that, but someone they don't know will die. Of course there's a twist at the end, but I won't spoil it.

MLK's later years, campaigning for fairer parking tariffs, and organising Wal-Mart boycotts, would have been his She's The Boss.tepista wrote:They're like Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix, they weren't around long enough to do shitty things like Mick Jagger and Paul McCartneySilent Majority wrote:Wow, had no idea King was so young.

I have a dream that you will have the best sleep in years for the lowest price imaginable. No, the price isn't free at last, but it's pretty close. Come on down, we're just off exit 44 at I-80.tepista wrote:And when he recreated his "Dream" speech for a local mattress store commercial.

Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
