I was chastised for staying home to watch President Nixon's resignation statement rather than going to some scheduled church Bible study or meeting or something like that. I wanted to see history in the making, one of the most significant events of my lifetime up to that point, but they thought I should go to some same-old-shit get together for young people. There is no sense of reality outside those four very bleak walls.
Of course, I ignored them and watched his resignation speech. I am sure I remember that much better than whatever I would have heard at that gathering.

I would have watched Nixon resign. He did ask God to bless the United States, so you still got some religion that night.NeverAgain wrote:I was chastised for staying home to watch President Nixon's resignation statement rather than going to some scheduled church Bible study or meeting or something like that.

Well, the USA was certainly blessed that night.

My Mom and I watched President Nixon's resignation speech. It was on a Thursday night. Sad night at our house. We did, however, turn off the TV when Dan Rather came on to blather.

I'd rather not watch Rather either.Struggler wrote:My Mom and I watched President Nixon's resignation speech. It was on a Thursday night. Sad night at our house. We did, however, turn off the TV when Dan Rather came on to blather.
