I woke up one morning with this song in my head, and the opening line of the song is, 'My name was Richard Nixon, only now I'm a girl.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As a kid, on the cotton fields, I had this tune in my head. I hummed it and sang it. It was the same melody as 'When A Man Loves A Woman.' I could never, ever forget it.
'What's My Line' 1971 was a magical experience as I was still in my teens, and it was my first appearance. You know how they say you never forget 'your first'!
I remember going through the cafeteria line and telling every kid that Nixon was in favor of school on Saturdays. It was my first political trick.
I wasn't a rock 'n' roll girl. I said, Neil Young, Neil Young, where do I know that name from?
I remember so vividly the first song I ever wrote. It was called 'Different People.'
When I was a teeny little girl, I was in dancing school, and I sang.
When the bus or the plane rolled or flew through the night, they sang songs of their own composition about Mr Nixon and the Republicans in chorus with the Kennedy staff and felt that they, too, were marching like soldiers of the Lord to the New Frontier.
That's a song about reaching deep inside yourself where you can completely be who you are.
I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said.
One of my little girls is named Reagan. Her first words were, 'Mr. Larry, tear down this crib.' That was her first words, it was very sweet. My first words were, 'Are you going to finish that sandwich?'
