John wrote..... What was the question? Jim replied.... Not too sure, something about "Kum Ba Ya" I think. Anyway, you're right - JFK is mentioned in stereo. Actually, that could make a good quiz - hit songs which mentioned presidents! JFK - in at least two songs - "PT109" and "Avraham Martin & John", but there must be more. I have a feeling that Billy Joel mentioned one or two but at this hour of night, I am getting a bit vague. I remember a second, but did it chart? "Lyndon Johnson" by Tom Paxton. Now let's see.... After Johnson came Nixon (he played a mean piano), then Ford, then Carter, then Reagan, then Bush Sr., then Clinton (he played a mean sax), then Bush Jr, and now Obama. Surely, at some stage, at least one of them was mentioned in a hit song? C'mon John - rescue me. And be fair - if this Board is going political, remember I'm a foreigner so what would I know? I only paid attention to the music - so give me a chance! |
