I was just down in Dallas, Texas. y'know you can go down there to Dealey Plaza where Kennedy was assassinated. And you can actually go to the 6th floor of the Schoolbook Depository. It's a museum called: The Assassination Museum. I think they named that after the assassination, I can't be too sure of the chronology here but... Anyway they have the window set up to look exactly like it did on that day. And it's really accurate, you know, 'cuz Oswald's not in it. "Yeah, yeah... Wow that's cool." Painstaking accuracy, y'know. It's true, it's called the Sniper's Nest. It's glassed in, it's got the boxes sitting there. You can't actually get to the window itself and the reason they did that of course, they didn't want thousands of American tourists getting there each year going: "No fucking way! I can't even see the road. Shit, they're lying to us. Fuck! Where are they? There's no fucking way. Not unless Oswald was hanging by his toes, upside down from the ledge. Either that or some pigeons grabbed onto him, flew him over the motorcade... Surely someone would have seen that. y'know there was rumours of anti-Castro pigeons seen drinking in bars. Someone overheard them saying 'coo, coo. coup...'" Unbelievable. And y'know what's wild? People's attitudes in the States about it. Talking about Kennedy, people come up to me: "Bill, quit talking about Kennedy, man. Let it go. It's a long time ago, just forget about it." And I'm like alright, then don't bring up Jesus to me. As long as we're talking shelf life here. "Bill, you know Jesus died for you." Yeah, well it was a long time ago. Forget about it! How about this. Get Pilate to release the fucking files. Quit washing your hands Pilate. Release the god-dam files. Who else was on that grassy Golgotha that day? "Bill, it was just, you know... taking over of democracy by a totalitarian government, let it go."
