Now I am a fan of the Rolling Stones but I have never seen them perform in a live concert, not the least of which was in England.
So I have no idea how I came by this pin but there it is.
And finally here is a button that commemorates my moment of fame when I appeared on the front page of USA Today.
At least it appears that way.
Gannett came to Phoenix and threw a big party when USA Today made it's debut in Arizona.
They had a photographer with a set where the attendees could pose, he would photograph them with the mock newspaper page set and later on would hand them buttons like the one above.
I wasn't invited to the party but I crashed it and had my photo taken.
So I wasn't as much of a big shot as the button would seem to portray.
I used to have quite a collection of political buttons, including funny ones from the 70's that said "Nixon's The One" around the time of his impeachment inquiry.
I had one from the 1964 campaign that had a small container with some yellow liquid in it and the caption "Goldwater".
I even had an old one from the 30's or 40's for Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
I sent them all to an historical museum in North Dakota.
I may find some more badges around the house some day but I think this is about it.
Thanks for viewing.
We now resume our normal programming.
