At least this is getting some media play, if mostly only in political blogs. If you're younger than 45, you do not know what it's like to see three of the most charismatic leaders of your young life be gunned down in cold blood over less than 5 years. And that doesn't include Malcolm X. The Secret Service needs to know the whole world is watching (as they said in 1968, in Chicago, where there was teargas and blood). As Big Otis notes, we need to hope that Dion DiMucci never sees a need to reissue Abraham, Martin and John with a new verse.
