I don't know why Google wants us to care about JFK so much.

But one of the first things that popped up was a mention of this Living Colour song, which is kind of ironic given the subject matter, because it's not so much about how awesome JFK was.

I had wanted to play this on my show on every Election Day but wonder if it'd get taken the wrong way.




Look into my eyes, what do you see?
Cult of personality
I know your anger, I know your dreams
I’ve been everything you want to be
I’m the cult of personality
Like mussolini and kennedy
I’m the cult of personality
Cult of personality
Cult of personality

Neon lights, a nobel prize
The mirror speaks, the reflection lies
You don’t have to follow me
Only you can set me free
I sell the things you need to be
I’m the smiling face on your t.v.
I’m the cult of personality
I exploit you still you love me

I tell you one and one makes three
I’m the cult of personality
Like joseph stalin and gandhi
I’m the cult of personality
Cult of personality
Cult of personality

You gave me fortune
You gave me fame
You me power in your god’s name
I’m every person you need to be
I’m the cult of personality

While we're at it, this song is awesome too. I'd honestly never bothered checking out Living Colour's back catalog until one of my very cool older friends sat me down and had me listen to them and talked about seeing them back in the day at the Euclid Tavern... "(All these fine sisters with afros and weaves and leather jackets in the mosh pit! It was amazing!")
