The time has sadly come for our final episode with our beloved late Bo Lueders... But very poetically, it is one where perhaps his passions and interests were all on display like never before, and that he describes as the day he's been waiting for his entire life: We visited the historic site in Dallas, TX where President John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963. We hit all of the local relevant hotspots in the area, he shares his theories & breaks down the historical facts (and fictions) we talk to a few lifetime Dallas locals about their views on one of the biggest news stories in American history... and then we walk off into the Sunset together, after 4 beautiful years of fulfilling our mission. This episode has nothing to do with hardcore music, or really music at all, but hardcore music brought us together to share our passions with the world and I'm so grateful that we got to capture this one for him as the perfect final sendoff. Stick around 'til the end. Love you Bo. _______________ 00:00:00 - Start 01:15 - The Kennedy Assassination, Dealey Plaza, Lee Harvey Oswald 13:19 - Jimmy Files and The Fence 18:23 - The Grassy Knoll 20:26 - Ron Washington, Dallas Local 24:43 - The Underpass and The Autopsy 27:40 - Marshal Evans, Author 37:52 - The 6th Floor Museum 38:34 - The Bridge 40:18 - Goodbye, Bo #HARDLORE #jfk HardLore: A Knotfest Series, Fueled by Monster EnergyEdited by Steven Grise • Title sequence by Nicholas MarzlufJoin the HARDLORE PATREON to watch every single weekly episode early and ad-free, alongside exclusive monthly episodes.Join the HARDLORE DISCORD for community discussions and to participate in our future Q&A episodes.FOLLOW HARDLORE: INSTAGRAM, TWITTER, SPOTIFY, APPLEFOLLOW COLIN: INSTAGRAMFOLLOW BO: INSTAGRAM, TWITTER For sponsorship opportunities, email us! info@hardlorepod.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
