這個討論到去年還是有人拿出來講..
可是他覺得有很多疑點~
他覺得barney只是隨便說說, 順水推舟..
總之下面這封是他提出來的疑點和他自己的解釋,
有興趣就看看吧! :)
eddz <eddietomb@yahoo.com> :
OK, you all know the supposed JFK explanation.
however, it was "January, 1963" blah blah
blah "cos it's your birthday". well JFK's
birthday was May 29, Monroe's June 1, and
Jackie's July 28. so it doesn't really hold
together! the only person who has anything
to do with any of it who has a birthday in
January is.. Bernard! so I'm thinking he
made the JFK explanation up, and either
the song is 100% fictional (i.e. Barney's
story of a guy who kills his wife), or it's
too intensely personal for Bernard to ever
reveal it's actual meaning.
with no evidence, I always imagined it was
about Bernard when he was a boy, and his
older brother coming home and getting him
a b-day gift, despite the hard times his brother
was going though, since his brother's wife had
recently died, perhaps because of an accident
his bro was involved in, causing his bro to
feel guilty and responsible. then he later
remarried. stupid, but no stupider than
half the NO lyrics that you can't even
guess the meaning of. but there's holes
in every theory. christ, there's more
theories on what 1963 is about than
there are JFK assassination theories. hehe
what scares me is that a Brit would even
give a flying fark about JFK, it being
primarily a US obsession. but you know
Barney, always walking around saying
'fookin Housemartins', spitting, talking
about guitar picks, and naming bands 'Electronic'
then playing acoustic music, whilst on Prozac.
so anything's possible =P
besides, he says "Johnny came HOME with
a gift for me" which would hint that he
didn't live at home, and was visiting.
obviously JFK DID live at the white house,
which Jackie would call 'home'. so again,
it doesn't hold together. plus it's not
like JFK came home after work, picking
up a present on his way from the office.
"I used to think of him, he used to think
of me" also implies a long distance relationship,
or seperation of some kind. they used to think
of each other whilst only rooms away? the prez
doesn't really do THAT much traveling, does he?
and the first lady could fly to meet him in an
instant.
"he told me to close my eyes..." to me, means
he gave her a gift (yes an actual gift, not
a gun in the face) to apologize for one or
several affairs, which Jackie probably knew
about. the line "he never meant to hurt me"
probably means even though he had an affair
(or three or four), he never meant to hurt her.
and I think the chorus "Johnny, don't point
that gun at me" is seperate from the previous
lyrics. possibly Jackie had a feeling he
wanted to off her? she was begging him in
her mind not to go through with it? but that
kind of doesn't make sense since she just
said he never meant to hurt her. meaning to
kill her would kind of be like meaning to
hurt her, eh?
"though he was ashamed that he had took
a life, Johnny came home with another wife"
makes no sense. maybe this is what Bernard
thinks would have happened if JFK had actually
managed to kill Jackie.
anyway, there's just way to many loopholes
for it to be about JFK, or even Bernard's
silly theory. so I'm guessing there was
already a rumor of it being about JFK,
and Barney just went with it and made
up this bullshit conspiracy theory to
be an arse.
I don't know squat about JFK, but I doubt
he really wanted to kill his wife to be
with the ditzy Monroe. it would be so
obvious. plus who really wants to marry
a fling or a mistress? he could have just
divorced her anyway.
I think Bernard is a silly little man.
odd for a b-side to be so (seemingly) deep.
bah.
