“Some here may not know the Kennedy Camelot legend was fabricated after his death”
Probably most don’t realize that the Camelot theme began after his assassination.
The idea of Camelot was on the public mind at the time because of the hit Broadway show that ran during the Kennedy administration. And it was a favorite of Jackie Kennedy’s.
Honeymooned in NYC in November 1962 and saw Camelot on Broadway. Awesome.
I’m glad my dad sat me down and told me about bootleg Kennedy and the real John Kennedy.
Thank you. Not enough people know the true story.
Jackie was such a phony.
I was never a fan of JFK, nor bought into the "Camelot" B/S. However, I did tear up when his little boy gave a salute at the funeral. Staged or not, it was powerful.
When Jackie married Onassis, a vomit-inducing political cartoon showed a castle in the air tilting to one side as if, when SHE married a commoner, the "magic" of Camelot was tarnished, if not destroyed.
