Two little-known facts about the 39th president & me:
1) I moved into the apartment where I still live the same month he was inaugurated, January 1977.
2) Maggie & I won the Village Voice Jimmy Carter joke contest in 1978 or 79. And we took that joke on the road. The prize, worn by Maggie, was a rubber head of Jimmy. I was Rosalynn in a prim pastel skirt. Maggie had stagefright in those days so instead of reciting her lines, you'd just see Jimmy's big head shaking. It was all way more punk than we thought, I suppose.
We spent a lot of time writing the dialect. They almost rescinded our prize when we went to pick it up & casually mentioned we had repurposed an old pimp joke.
