17. Bonus: High Hopes for Kennedy
The 1968 Democratic Presidential primaries featured a tight 3 way race between Eugene McCarthy, Hubert Humphrey and Robert Kennedy. Each of the candidates had strong support from celebrities and musicians. For example, Paul Newman and Simon & Garfunkel went on the campaign trail in support of McCarthy. Bill Cosby, Bobby Darin and the Jefferson Airplane were in Kennedy’s corner. Of the 3 candidates, Humphrey probably had the least celebrity support, but one man on his side was a giant. The Chairman of the Board, Frank Sinatra, lent his clout and voice to the Humphrey campaign. Sinatra would perform several benefit concerts for Humphrey, including this fundraiser from May 22, 1968, 51 years ago today. This soundboard recording captures every note of that historic performance. Humphrey would go on to win the nomination, but the that victory was overshadowed by the assassination of Robert Kennedy on June 5, just hours after his victory in the California primary. If 1967 had produced the Summer of Love, then 1968 brought the Spring of Sorrow, with the loss of not only Kennedy, but also Martin Luther King just 2 months earlier on April 4 1968. When you download and listen to this one, please take a moment to remember 2 men of peace who were tragic victims of violence and taken from us well before their time.

Thanks for the quick re-up! Always good to hear some classic Sinatra. Keep up the good work!
i dont understand this.
i tried to dl this but a game called open general was dl instead.
what is going on?
I just tested this and its working fine. When you click on the link above, it will take you to a Zippyshare page. On the right side of the page, enter the capchia code, then hit download. A dialogue box should then appear to let you download the show.
Try using firefox as your browser as that's what works for me.
well..that is exactly what i did and it dl some game called open general...in fact it even asks me if i want to open the dl using the game!
any suggestions how this can be?
just want to say...i appreciate your help and i am sure i must be doing something wrong.
so please dont bother trying to figure it out..i just am to old for this cpu stuff:)
Sorry you are still having trouble. be sure you click the words download now right under the capchia. Don't click any of the other download buttons.
