The Grand and Gracious Andy Williams

This story warms my heart: Andy Williams is not a fan of the president:

I think he wants to create a socialist country. The people he associates with are very Left-wing. One is registered as a Communist.

Yes, that Andy Williams.

Of “Love Story” fame — you don’t have to love the movie to sing the song.

Or, for the men in the room, there’s The Godfather.

And this is the kind of story I usually only get listening to Bill Bennett’s interviews with random musicians on his morning show:

The 81-year-old was a friend of the Kennedy family during the 1960s and was present at the Los Angeles rally where Robert F Kennedy was assassinated in 1968.

“I was very close to Bobby and he asked me to be a delegate for him when he ran for president,” he said.

“He knew about me being a Republican, but just laughed and said, ‘Sign yourself in as a Democrat and then change back afterwards’. Sadly, I never got to do that.

“I was very close to Teddy Kennedy, too, and his death recently brought it all back. What a tragedy. Had he lived, I think Bobby would have been a great president.”

There is something so American about it all.
