going to pieces after the assassination
#12
I've started a website for my new book, THE BROKEN PLACES, http://www.thebrokenplaces.info

Bob Wilson, who sometimes writes on the assassination,
interviewed me about the connections between THE BROKEN
PLACES and the Ramones movie ROCK 'N' ROLL HIGH SCHOOL,
which I cowrote. http://liveforlivemusic.com/features/roc...ew-memoir/

My first girlfriend, Kathy Wolf, to whom
I pay tribute in THE BROKEN PLACES, was my
model for Riff Randell, the rebellious school strike
leader and Ramones songwriter in the movie (Riff is wonderfully
played by P. J. Soles).

Here's an interview Bob did with me on INTO THE NIGHTMARE:
http://garyrevel.com/jfk/mcbride2.html

It has been a painful but healing experience writing
these two memoirs, both long in the works, both labors
of love, both about deep trauma. I found after
writing INTO THE NIGHTMARE that it did not entirely
exorcise the grief I will always feel over the murder of the president; nor did I expect it would.
But it helps to put it all into a book and to have done a thirty-one-year
investigation as a private citizen; I have always been inspired by the fact that the most important work on this
case has been done by independent researchers. I feel a sense of healing
but lack of full catharsis in having written THE BROKEN PLACES, although
that book has more of a hopeful element. The positive and empathetic response to both books has
been gratifying. Many people have written me that they have shared similar experiences
and told me it is valuable to read about another person's journey through these kinds of traumas,
one more personal, the other national. I think all of us who read this site are grieving and always will.
