Watergate? I once got a '67 Gibson SG in a trade for a used car from E. Howard Hunt's son Saint John. Great guitar, got stolen in a burglary in East Oakland. Saint is a killer guitar player and all around amusing guy.
I was 13 in '74 and that seems like the least significant difference in the makeup of the two scandals. The baseline rejection of criminal behavior back then seems like an impossibility now.
Perhaps those are our marching orders going forward.
I just hope that not too much actual marching is in those orders for a little while as I am typing this from a hospital bed in Modesto and marching to the toilet and back required assistance an hour ago...
Thank you again for the podcast,
