@tgraph52 Inside look at how the campaign press operated then, including long discussions with some of the heavy hitters - along the way, much insight into that election. (Crouse was sent by Wenner to provide a straight counterpoint to Thompson's reporting on the election, and ended up with a very good look at the reporters and "pack journalism" - a term I think he coined.)

@tgraph52 Two books: "The Boys on the Bus," by Tim Crouse, and "Fear and Loathing: on the Campaign Trail '72" by HST.

@InUnfunky @tgraph52 @Bix @JoyfullyDazed I can only think of that song in the context of Beavis and Butthead...

@InUnfunky @tgraph52 @Bix @JoyfullyDazed I'm more concerned about crossing out Kansas....though I do hope some other of Mrs. and Mr. Geraldo's tunes are ok...😁

When the first Mammoth record came out, there was sooooo much pearl-clutching about WVH trading on his dad's name (especially from those who didn't bother listening to the tracks).
But it's Sammy who's constantly talking about Ed in the press...

@InUnfunky The second.

1980 was my second Presidential election as a voter. I remember friends saying they would vote for Reagan because of his optimism, or that Carter seemed inept (yah, seems the press had already begun to crater).
Two years later most of them wouldn't own up (but he still won again in '84, mounting scandals notwithstanding, partly because, well, the press, which is how GHWB came away unscathed...)

Pretty spot on, but oy, she's a Rowlands fan and hasn't seen "Gloria?" Ooh, just wait...

@Bix With "Going Mobile" cranked, obviously...

@redenigma @voltronic @evamarie Happens to way too many people! Brother Bell would have said they failed you by being either too lazy or hiding their lack of knowledge.

@voltronic @JazzCrafter @evamarie Egad, I sound like the worst name-dropper in this thread - just not expecting you to take any of this on my poor authority.

@voltronic @JazzCrafter @evamarie Yup - that's it. By the way Herald Stark, with whom I was privileged to study (and namesake of the Nation Assn of Teachers of Singing Library), believed the very same thing.

@JazzCrafter @voltronic @evamarie I did not (and neither did John) intend to imply any standard other than the confidence to sing out.
Sorry if you misunderstood.

@voltronic @evamarie John Bell used to say that if you hadn't learned to sing as a child, someone had stolen your song. I.e., if you needed help to sing and no one helped you learn, that was a theft of joy.
