Sir Creep 7,070 Posted November 22, 2018 Blah blah blah Kennedy Assassination blah blah 55 years ago (age 46). Ok who among us had EVER known that Aldous Huxley and C. S. Lewis, the gents what wrote Chronicles of Narnia and Brave New World, died the same exact damn day as Kennedy was assassinated? (Fawcett/MJackson much?) There can’t have been a bigger day of famous deaths. Throw in the Nazi’s chief physician during WWII for good measure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,491 Posted November 22, 2018 CS Lewis circa 5.35pm, 22nd Nov JFK 6pm UK time, 22nd Nov Huxley ruins this as he died at 5.20pm but LA time, which is 7 hours later... There's a semi-famous book about it that I've never read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh wait, was that the day after? It's all jumbled up in my memory because my Granny died that weekend as well. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,491 Posted November 22, 2018 It's a thought though, contrary to the "popular", there must have been folk out there for whom Kennedy's death was overshadowed by finding out about CS Lewis rather than vice versa. Like how my mum is adamant Farah Fawcett overshadowed any 80s singers who might have died on the same day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
