Thanks for all the suggestions for Nixon oriented music. Here's the
playlist for the show that I did. I'm sorry I didn't get to
everyone's ideas, but it's amazing how hard it is to find a lot of the
old anti-Nixon material is. At this time, however, I do not feel that
it would be responsible to imply that this is the work of a
conspiracy. For example, I couldn't come up with Phil Ochs doing
"State of Richard Nixon", though it's an old favorite of mine ("Here's
to the land, you've torn out the heart of..."). And I just forgot
about some ideas, like the interesting factoid that Nixon was an
Andrew Sisters fan. However I did play a version of "The Star
Spangled Banner", as a representative pro-Nixon cut, so I hope that
helps satisfy his supporters.
Anyway, here's my playlist from Midnight, last Saturday night (on
KZSU, Stanford 90.1 FM):
By the way, when I use something as background music to talk over, I
indicate it with a "Bed: " (short for sound bed). When I play more
than one thing mixed together, I try and indicate that with curly
braces.
