Zapruder

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Gary Marx wrote:'Zapruder' is similarly more interested in the wider world and, in this instance, the escalating number of conspiracy theories. I like to think of this as a lyrical cocktail : three parts JFK to one part 'Metal Guru' by T.Rex.
fyi

The Abraham Zapruder home movie of the Kennedy assassination is the only known film of the entire assassination. It is a silent, 8mm color record of the Kennedy motorcade just before, during, and immediately after the shooting.

The Zapruder Film
Millions have seen Abraham Zapruder's graphic 26-second strip of silent, 8-mm Kodachrome II Safety Film. It helps to be prepared for what is shown.

Zapruder's own first impressions of the assassination touched on the comic. He thought the President was "pretending" to be hit when the car emerged from behind a sign between Zapruder and Kennedy.
so there you go. just thought i'd mention that 8)

so the first shot is behind that large sign then.

I can kind of see why someone would think the president was joking. On the footage ive seen it certainly looks that way, till the head splatter.

There is also a doctored version of the film. Conspiracy whacko Bill Cooper used to show it at his talks. The chaffeur turns around and shoots Kennedy. Cooper used to sell copies of this video - until he was shot and killed himself.
.... there is no semblance of rock 'n roll around here!
