An episode of the old Route 66 show called "Aren't You Surprised To See Me?" aired in Dallas on February 16, 1962, it takes place in Dallas/Ft. Worth. It opens with the villain making a connection at Love Field, where JFK flew in the day he was killed. The protagonists of the show, TV versions of Kerouac and Cassidy "On The Road", get jobs at the Trade Mart, where JFK was headed when he was shot. At one point someone's on the phone talking to Earl Cabell, Dallas mayor whose brother was deputy CIA director. Route 66 is famous for having captured in its background an authentic American cultural landscape before it was homogenized into malls. So here is a straight view of what Dallas was like at the time of the assassination. The plot involves one of the guys (George Maharis, playing the Cassidy figure but looking and talking a lot like Kerouac) being kidnapped by a killer ready to dose the entire town with a deadly biotoxin. The killer is some kind of religious fanatic who soliloquizes about absolute morality while Maharis/Kerouac talks moral relativism. So it's also a picture of the kind of values debate that was happening on mainstream television at the time as well. Very interesting, in light of all the right-wing religious fanaticism surrounding the likes of Crisman, etc.

Anyone interested in getting a copy of this of DVD, contact Steamshovelpress.com@gmail. It's a good way other than playing the Zapruder film over and over to touch base with that time at this time...
