My aunt used to tell me the story of where she was and what she was doing when Kennedy was shot all the time when I was a little girl. It was ALL the time, and there were commemorative plates with Kennedy on it, framed pictures of him, all of that. They just stared at me as she talked about it, like they were pissed I was uncomfortably listening to how he was shot in the head. Periodically the phrase "Back and to the left, back and to the left, back and to the left...." got stuck in my head. I had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder from it and whenever I heard loud noises like fire crackers I reacted immediately by freaking out to the back and then to the left. My aunt has every newspaper clipping and magazine about the Kennedys she could find. She has been collection them since the 60s and still collects them. She has all the clippings about the assasination. This explains why I long to dress like Jackie O. It's a psychological thing.
