This ad is simple, and brilliant. It brings up only a few of the good things Jerry did for the state the last time he was governor. Thing is, Meg is absolutely right about the climate in California thirty years ago. Ronald Reagan, while in the process of leaving a deficit, built at taxpayer expense a big ass mansion. Jerry closed it down and rented, with his own money, a little flat across from the Capitol. He garaged the bulletproof Cadillac Limo that Reagan had the state buy him and drove his own car. Thing is, those are totally Jerry things to do. He spent so much time in the office that it really didn't matter where he was for the few hours a day that he wasn't on the job.
One of the things Jerry did that really saved the state was the way he took on the infestation of Mediterranian Fruit Flies. That could have absolutely destroyed California's agricultural economy. While they ridiculed him and called him "Governor Moonbeam" he was saving their fucking asses.
No matter how the election turns out, Jerry is on my short list of truffles and his favorite, Peppermint Stick Ice Cream.
All you want Jerry. Anytime you want it.
I often get asked by folks what I do to prepare for a show, or in this case, three shows. It's easy, I practice my ass off. I'm playing about eight hours a day. Four on the guitars, with a little extra time to bring my fiddle and mandolin chops up to spec. Well, busy hands are happy hands.
