As a Brit I liked Jimmy Carter, a very compassionate man, and still to this day listen to the Allman Brothers all of the time - love Soulshine even though it was written by Warren Haynes.

If it makes you feel any better, before the ABB Duane and Greg used to tour as “Allman Joy”

Great documentary. Deeply underrated president.

Naw, great man but largely ineffective as president. Even before he got fucked over in Iran.

That's the most 70s thing I've heard all day.

We need to just make a Cartoon set in the 70's where Jimmy Carter, The Allman Brothers, Dolly Parton and others are part of a Justice League. Pilot episode has to be about the time Jimmy personally disabled a nuclear reactor to keep it from melting down.

Dolly didn't have her reputation t hen, she wasn't yet known for her charities.

Thanks for sharing. I was coming of age at this time in the south and the Allman Brothers were a regular backing track to all sorts of stuff. Gotta give it to Jimmy for his character, principles, and respect for other people's differences. He did stuff because it was the right thing to do and not because it was politically beneficial and made him richer.
Southern rock was seen as way less conservative than it is today. The sex, drugs, alcohol, and music were all seen as threats to society if you openly engaged. OK to do it if you went to church on Sunday to condemn those that you spent Saturday night engaging in those activities.

Big respect for Jimmy Carter - not the best national politician but a great example of staying true to your ideals.

Good man. Horrible President

He negotiated the first treaty between Israel and an Arab country. He took action on climate change before it was popular to do so. His administration was not corrupt. And by not corrupt I mean that there was nothing, no indictments, no scandals. Carter was the last honest man to hold the office. That fact alone puts him head and shoulders above those that came after him.

Just saw this while watching the documentary on Chuck Leavell - an absolute legend
​
Warning - political commentary...
I look at Biden the same as Carter - they were both handed an absolute shitshow and will never get the recognition they deserve

Correct but not until much later.

All true, except don’t forget Barack Obama came after him. The only president to try taking on the health insurance industry that controls this country.

Then make her the new kid with a pure heart who needs to prove themselves. Have fun it with by making jokes about what she eventually went on to do.

I've legitimately thought it was Almond Brothers my whole life. I feel so dumb

Jimmy Carter wasn’t dementiated’ when he was president tho. He at least knew what planet he was on.
