When Graham Nash passed through New Jersey on tour 40 years ago, he was a witness to history.
It was during the intermission at an Aug. 8, 1974, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young performance at the former Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City that embattled and controversial President Richard M. Nixon took to the airwaves, announcing that he would resign the following day.
“It was incredibly rainy. There was an incredible storm going on,” Nash recalled about that fateful night. “And, during our intermission, Nixon resigned. And I got to go on stage and tell everybody that he was gone.”
All these years later, Nash still has vivid memories of the crowd’s reaction to the news that the vilified Republican leader was stepping down.
Dad had the Nixon / Agnew, I bought him the Nixon / Lodge when I lobbied in DC in '95.
I remember my dad driving through neighborhoods blasting audio propaganda for Nixon / Lodge from a Mr Softee kind of truck when I was a kid. People did that stuff then.
