He had from an early age embarked on a lifestyle choice of living almost permanently on the high seas. Kenedy was featured in The Saturday Evening Post in an article entitled "The Incredible Captain Kenedy" in the winter of 1953-1954 written by Richard Thruelsen. These articles appear in the Dec 19, 1953; Dec 26, 1953; Jan 2, 1954; and Jan 9, 1954 issues. Kenedy is the inspiration for “Captain Kennedy”, a song recorded in 1980 on the Hawks and Doves album by Neil Young. Young encountered Kennedy in South Florida and the Bahamas while Lou was cruising in his later years. (en)
