The 1974 Eagles song used to mock Richard Nixon: “Our little kiss off to Tricky Dicky”
Crying out against the big wigs in the White House.

The day metalheads lost their minds.

Well outside of his wheelhouse.

Not meant to be his voice.

Not in his best interest.
The 1993 concert that Nirvana couldn’t stand watching: ‘We didn’t like many of them’
Not fitting in the right way.

Reading the genre its last rites.
The 1978 song Linda Ronstadt thought could have outdone: “A great opportunity I missed”
Going above and beyond.
