Growing up in MA I would see Kennedy shrines in people’s living rooms..The people of MA blindly and loyally support their teams, be it political teams like Democrats or the Red Sox, Celtics, Patriots etc.

"Then I recall seeing, maybe 10 years ago, a show on PBS (of all places!) which discussed JFK’s drug use, his womanizing, and the fact he and RFK probably shared Marilyn Monroe." A lot of Kennedy's peccadillos started to be aired by the MSM during the Clinton years in order to excuse WJC's behavior by comparison.

She was a size 12, IIRC.............. At a time when sizes 5, 7, and 9 were considered petit and there was no size 0. Exactly. Sizes then are nowhere near the sizes now.
Today's size 4, 6, 8, etc. has more fabric, meaning it accommodates a bigger body than before, allowing silly women who haven't figure out the scam to think they're still as they were when younger.

It was a fine song on a mostly fine album.

The Kennedys would seem to have a bit of a problem with deceased women.

Correction. Murdered. She received a hot shot. The Kennedys. I know I should not say it, but was that Marilyns revenge?
