MikeDunnAuthorOn This Day in History June 6, 1968: U.S. Attorney General Robert Kennedy died after getting shot by Sirhan Sirhan, five years after his brother, JFK, was assassinated. Sixteen years later, RFK’s son, David was killed by Syringe Syringe. And nearly 50 years later, his other son, RFK Jr. was pulled into the Trump administration in a failed attempt to get him, as a Kennedy, to draw all the sniper fire. Somehow, RFK Jr. has defied the family tradition of a bullet hole in the brain, or simply dying young, before he was able to f*ck up the country, by getting a worm hole there, instead.

"Police Truck"—the B-side to "Holiday in Cambodia."
Too good and too important to be released merely as a B-side.

If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention.
(Sorry-not-sorry for the aggression, I listened to an entire #DeadKennedys album while running errands.)
