Bush ‘43 shoda had Ike Turner perform. Raise a few eyebrows. Then suggest Ike got a bad rap. He died on ‘06 or thereabouts.

Gee, thanks. I felt old, until I read that. Now I feel ANCIENT. I was somewhere between Jump School and Ranger School at Ft. Benning then. and even then, I was one of the older guys in both.

Thanks for the post. There were a couple vids performing for Reagan I watched also.

I am still proud that I voted for President Nixon.   I also saw Merle Haggard and Bob Dylan at the Chastain Park Amphitheatre, May 5, 2006 (18 years ago).   Great show for two titans of music.

Julie Eisenhower had the big hair going on there.

Merle Haggard, who I consider the greatest country western singer of all time. I say again, the greatest of all time.

And keep your retirement
And your so-called Social Security
Big city turn me loose and set me free

Darn that makes me feel old. And I knew Merle. I grew up around him and Buck since my family was in the bar business in Bakersfield/Lamont.
