I just read in Wikipedia that JFK Airport was mentioned in lyrics of songs by Barry Manilow, Paul Simon, U2 and Notorious B.I.G amongst others. Sadly, I can't identify which songs. Who can help?

I think Biggie mentions JFK in one of his freestyles.

Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire: "JFK, blown away, what else do I have to say" was definitely in reference to the airport. We should bring him in for questioning.

I think that's a reference to the JFK assasination in 1963
