Listen "Garden Party"
Episode Synopsis
Way back in 1972, Ricky Nelson, a superstar of 50’s and 60s music, played a gig at Madison Square Gardens in New York. A weird thing happened that night. Despite the attendance of other musical stars and celebrities, the crowd was… well… not impressed with the set list Ricky had prepared for the evening. The basically booed him off the stage.
A few weeks later, Nelson released what is arguably his most famous song – Garden Party, which contains this line:
It’s all right now, I learned my lesson well,
You see you can’t please every one, so you gotta please yourself
Now some in our nation are huffing and puffing about the GOPs Speaker “debacle,” but reality is that you can’t please every one. Is what we are seeing a “debacle” or is it… you know… democracy?
