Does anyone remember Christmas 1973, when this song came out.

Vietnam was ending and Watergate was in full swing.

It was a memorable time.

1. I never heard this song before!

Thanks for posting it. It has a Glen Campbell vibe to it. I was a very young stay-at-home mom in 1973 and watched much of Watergate on TV.

2. Me too and I was a "fan" of Maureen Dean (John's wife). She was a real beauty and

I loved her clothes and hairstyles. I know, I know, I was a kid..LOL.

3. Me too --

My son was born in Nov 73, so he was just a toddler and I stayed as glued to the TV as he would let me. And unlike Monmouth4, *I* was a fan of JOHN Dean. Still am. Always will be.

4. I love this song for some reason

Even tho I don't usually like songs as depressing as this. Esp. at Christmas time.

Muskogee, makes me think of that f---g Reagan.
