Even as a 70s kid, I despised that fool from GA.
There is a reel on YouTube of collected live radio coverage of the Great Buffalo Blizzard of ‘77. It occurred in the midst of Carter’s failed energy policies. In addition to being buried under a mountain of snow or being stranded in a Datsun on the Thruway, listeners were repeatedly being told of a natural gas shortage and to set their thermostats at 60.
No wonder the Georgia Clown got bounced in 1980.
He told us to turn down our thermostats in the winter and to turn them up in the summer because we were engaged in the "moral equivalent of war" (MEOW).
