Everything up to date in Kansas City
They’ve gone about as fur As they can go
They got a big theatre called a burley Q
Fur fifty cents you can see a dandy show!

I've been to that theater. It's called the Kemper Arena, and it's where the GOP held its National Convention in 1976. And it was a dandy show--Reagan delegates and guests celebrating by blowing horns after Reagan's name was placed in nomination; Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York; a Ford delegate; ripping out telephone wires to keep Reagan delegates from communicating; the Texas delegation and the California delegation, all Reagan delegates, shouting back and forth at one another "Viva! Olé!"; Jack Ford, President Gerald Ford's son pouring confetti over the Texas delegation from the balcony to rub it in after Ford won the nomination, and TV cameras focusing on a group of diehard Reaganites--including your's truly--shouting at Ford, "Four More Months" as the convention drew to a close.

“Reaganites—including your’s truly—shouting at Ford, “Four More Months” as the convention drew to a close. “

Hey, I should say thank you for 4 years of Jimmy Carter.
