Year of the Yahoo!
1972
Gov. Baxter: Who is your candidate? Chet Stoner: Hank Jackson. Gov. Baxter: Who? Chet Stoner: Hank Jackson, the singer. Gov. Baxter: (laughs) Oh, you boys really had me there! For a minute, I thought you really was bluffing! Gentlemen, this isn't California. The people of this state aren't convinced you can just sprinkle a little sand on the floor of the senate, and stomp on your feet instead of talking sense! Sid Angelo: Listen, you think Hank Jackson is just a singer? Well, wake up, man! Listen to what he's singing. Look at who his fans are. Look, the people in this country are sick and tired of hearing about wars, riots, recessions, pollution, detentions, the whole mess. You know what there're after? Simpler times. Like in those old west movies were you can always tell the good guys from the bad guys. You can't wear a white hat anymore? So, put a flag on your windshield. They blame all the worlds problems on wise-ass college professors and baggy kids. Yeah, there're yahoos. But this is the year of the yahoo!
