Eminem, Tori Amos and the Beach Boys among many who have tackled John F. Kennedy’s murder
: Bob Dylan cut a version of this traditional ballad for his first album . For theiralbum, the Byrds revived the song and lent it their own gothic harmonies, and guitarist and co-leader Roger McGuinn revised the lyrics, part of which now read: “He was in Dallas town/From a sixth-floor window/A gunman shot him down.”“The day of November 22, 1963 I was working for Bobby Darin’s TM Music as a songwriter in the Brill Building,” McGuinn tells RS.
The song would also play a key part in Byrds history the following year when the band performed the song at the Monterey International Pop Festival. Before it was played, David Crosby, to the irritation of McGuinn and Chris Hillman, told the audience that Kennedy was “not killed by one man” but instead by a conspiracy. That would be among several last straws for the other Byrds, who fired Crosby a few months later.
Ochs’ first version of the song, lathered with orchestration and electronic effects, appeared on his 1967 album. But his later, unplugged renditions were starker and more impassioned – the loss of a leader transformed into a Homer-like folk odyssey.: On one of their first recordings, Glenn Danzig and his early-punk bros didn’t mince words right from the start: “President’s bullet-ridden body in the street/Ride, Johnny ride/Kennedy’s shattered head hits concrete/Ride, Johnny ride.
