Great song, although I'm not sure it's about a historical figure.

Having said that, it does mention Kennedy, which I suppose is enough given some of the other selections.

I checked the context for the song before I posted it, and Duff McKagan stated:

"Basically it was a riff that we would do at sound-checks. Axl came up with a couple of lines at the beginning. And... I went in a peace march, when I was a little kid, with my mom. I was like four years old. For Martin Luther King. And that's when: "Did you wear the black arm band when they shot the man who said: 'Peace could last forever'?" It's just true-life experiences, really."

So I felt, along with the Kennedy reference there might be enough to it!

That's more than fair. As I commented above, I think some of the submissions - including my own - qualify on only the title.
