Stated plainly, it's about the John F. Kennedy assassination. President of the United States John F. Kennedy was shot around 12:30 local time in Dallas. Most Americans learned of the assassination when newsman Walter Cronkite announced his death on the air, stating, "President Kennedy died at 1 P.M. Central Standard Time"
In an interview with Saxon lead singer Biff Byford, he stated: "I was 12, so I remember seeing it on TV and I remember learning about it in the history lessons at school. And then, the first time we went to America, it just stuck in my mind. After reading a couple of books about it and seeing various films and history lessons, I completed it."
There remains plenty of debate as to how many shots were fired when Kennedy was assassinated. Saxon went with three, which took a bit of studio dexterity. "It was all done on analog, so we were flying different machines in at certain times with marker pen on the tape, so it was all a bit industrious," recalled singer Biff Byford. "We thought, 'Should we put one shot in there or should we put three?'" he said. "In the end, we went down the conspiracy theory route and had three shots."
