I wonder if this is the visit where Willie smoked a joint with Carter's son on the roof of the White House. And we deride the '70s as being a bad time.

I was an idiot not to understand the greatness and kindness of Jimmy Carter,
Stardust Melodies by Willie is a gift from

and took undeserved crap for just bring black.
