I had some hippy friends back in the day who swore they would move to Alaska if Nixon ever became president.
These people were "purists" you might say. About what they ate (micro-biotic diet
), about their music and definitely about not "selling out" to the man.
Well they moved alright, but not to Alaska. I met them in the eighties and they were doing a show at the piano bar of their own little restaurant in Southern California. They'd even had some of their house entrees written up in gourmet magazines.
And by the way in case anyone forgot. Nixon did become president. And in my mind one of the better commanders in chief we've had in my lifetime.
