Yeah, it's about JFK and I've heard Dylan had a song with the same title as well. Grateful Dead do as well, though the lyrics are very different. Cat Power has a song by the same title, and some of the lyrics are very similar, but I think it's kind of a half-cover or something. This is the only song by the Byrds that I really like, mostly because of its topic. It's really good, though.
