        First the picture of him in a leisure suit, now a picture of him listening to "Muskrat Love." Why do you hate Gerald Ford?

        I think Toni Tennille remembers this differently. She talked about this at a concert; I think she said that she & her husband were required to submit a list of songs they wanted to sing for the Queen beforehand & was told that they couldn't because the Queen considered it dirty.

        How embarrassing. I remember her visit to Washington DC, I was among a crowd as she arrived at The Mall to visit the Bicentennial year expanded Folk-life Festival.

        Def cost him the election later that year. Muskrat Love likely had more impact than non-totalitarian Poland
