The two people mentioned in the original recording were:Lena Horne, born 1917, was a mulatto lounge singer, active in the 1960's, who became the first black American movie star when she signed a contract with MGM in 1942. Sheriff Jim Clark of Selma, Alabama, was responsible for several violent arrests of Civil Rights protestors, over the wishes of Selma mayor Joseph Smitherman, who wanted to bring industry to the town, and didn't want the negative publicity that violence would bring.
Exactly, which is why I hate it when other Jews go about ranting about how "OMGOMGGMGMSOJGFOSD THIS SONG IS SO ANTI SEMITIC OMGOMGOMG HE'S A /NAZI/!!!!!1111ONE" when the guy who wrote it is Jewish. :/

Heh, not to toot my own horn, but I'm not a neurochemist. I do read and observe a lot and try to work out my observations. The compliment is much appreciated, and thanks for bringing those two authors to my attention.

Cafeeine:You have stated concisely what Walter Lord and Jack Finney tried to explain in both fiction and nonfiction, in one book after another.You're either a genius or a neurochemist.
