#Meme – Pete Buttigieg

“Music is not a bad way to look at how [political leaders] are doing with our country. Jimi Hendrix’s famous and tortured rendition of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ in 1969 would have been as meaningless to a country reassured by and enamored of President Kennedy as it was necessary for a nation under Nixon.”
