Old Dan Powell was talking about me becoming President when I was still twenty-five points behind for CongressAll I did was stand in front of a camera and talkIt forced me to think in twenty-eight-second segmentsAfter a while, I didnt need a stopwatch to tell me whether I was a second or two long or shortProduction costs were low for the ads
The TV ads may have been rudimentary, but our radio ads were greatOne memorable ad, produced in Nashville, featured a country singer who sounded just like Arkansas-born Johnny CashIt opened, If youre tired of eating beans and greens and forgotten what pork and beefsteak means, theres a man you ought to be listening toIt went on to slam the Nixon administration for financing huge grain sales to the Soviet Union, which drove up the price of food and animal feed, hurting poultry and cattle operationsThe song said, Its time to push Earl Butz [Nixons agriculture secretary] away from the troughIn between verses came this refrain: Bill Clintons ready, hes fed up tooHes a lot like me, hes a lot like youBill |
