I don't even see it as JFK worship.
I see it as many of us, reaching back, trying to inhale a piece of that time that seemed the end of a season in our country and our lives.
If you were a baby boomer, or in adulthood, you experienced the assassination of three important leaders, the civil rights movement and riots, from leave it to Beaver to Laugh-In, to a televised war, from Dean Martin to Jimi Hendrix, the sexual revolution and women's rights.
I know people are tired of hearing about it, but everything changed dramatically in our country that decade. It was an incredible time in history, and the assassination of JFK was the beginning to many.

Speaking as a member of Generation X, I view the sixties as a time when this great nation had a bad case of the runs.
