@AJ_FREDRICKSON I believe Bill Guerin is vastly under appreciated as a talent evaluator and team assembler…reminds me of what Dale Tallon did is Chicago

Bump

@geraldposner I already did so and very much appreciate the supportive data and overall great story telling. I was open to CIA (or other) involvement but not now. I learned of the book via Dan Barrerio at @KFAN1003

@mfmoorend Let me know what you think after you read Case Closed

One of the most damning images in American history—captured in a Dallas backyard 63 years ago today. Lee Harvey Oswald asked his wife, Marina, to take several photos of him. The rifle he held would later be ballistically proven to be the weapon that assassinated President Kennedy. The revolver on his hip is the one used to kill Dallas Police Officer J.D. Tippit 45 minutes after the President was shot. In front of his chest, Lee holds copies of The Militant, a Trotskyist weekly newspaper published by the Socialist Workers Party, and The Worker, the weekly newspaper of the Communist Party USA. From my book, Case Closed: “On Sunday afternoon, March 31, Marina was in the small fenced-in backyard hanging up diapers when Lee asked her to take a picture. She protested that she had never taken a photo in her life, but he assured her it was simple. He returned to the apartment and in a few minutes emerged dressed all in black, a revolver tucked into the waist of his pants, a rifle held in one hand, and a camera and some newspapers in the other hand. Marina broke into laughter: ‘I asked him then why he had dressed himself up like that … I thought he had gone crazy, and he said he wanted to send that to a newspaper. I thought that Lee [was] … just playing around.’ But he was absolutely serious, and angry that she thought it was funny. Marina became a ‘little scared’ as she worried about taking the pictures correctly and whether anyone in the neighborhood could see him. ‘It was quite embarrassing the way he was dressed,’ she recalled. He posed and she snapped the shutter. Then he walked over and reset the shutter and she did it again, and again. Oswald developed the photos himself, probably the next day when he returned to work. He brought one back to Marina and inscribed on the back: ‘For Junie from Papa.’ Marina was flabbergasted and asked why June would want a picture of him holding guns. ‘To remember Papa by sometime,’ Oswald said.” The photographs of the man accused of assassinating the President, posing with the murder weapon, were so incriminating that many conspiracy theorists reflexively insisted they had to be fake. Some made a small business out of producing videos, booklets, and lecture series arguing the images were composites. They cited alleged shadow inconsistencies, body proportions, facial variations, even supposed grafting lines. The Warren Commission’s FBI experts found no evidence of retouching. By the late 1970s, advances in forensic photography allowed the House Select Committee on Assassinations to settle the matter definitively. Twenty-two leading experts determined the negatives were taken by Oswald’s Imperial Reflex camera, to the exclusion of any other camera ever made. They found no evidence whatsoever of faking. They also matched the rifle in the photograph to the rifle recovered on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository. The science was conclusive. The mythology persists.

THE J. GEILS BAND LOOKING FOR A LOVE

@CapricornMacon Simply put, this is terrific. All live albums should be measured against this one.

On this day 55 years ago, the Allman Brothers Band took the stage at Fillmore East. The multi-day performance resulted in the band's breakthrough live album, "At Fillmore East," which is still considered one of the best live albums today.
