Ted, as everyone should know or has known, was the inspiration for J. Y.'s 1979
Styx song "Eddie," written as a warning to drop his bid for the 1980
Presidential election campaign amid concerns he may risk suffering the same fate
as two of his older brothers, John F. "Jack" and Robert F. "Bobby" Kennedy in
1963 and 1968 respectively (both of which died from being assassinated)

Well, as an Englishman who first started listening to Styx in 2002, I didn't
know this until someone else mentioned it on this list! I have never been much
of a fan of this song, but I admit that could have been through ignorance of the
lyrics, now I understand what it's all about, I really ought to listen to the
song again, "in context".
Cheers,
Liam.
