Happy Birthday Willie Nelson!

“When I was in trouble in the White House or when I wanted to have some deep thoughts, I had a very high quality hi-fi player, and the number one thing I played was Willie Nelson songs.  All the good things I did as a president, all the mistakes I made — you can blame half of that on Willie.”

-Jimmy Carter in an interview with Rolling Stone Magazine

ourpresidents: President Nixon bowling at the White House Bowling Alley.  3/10/70. The White House Bowling Alley first opened in 1947 while Harry S. Truman was in office.  In 1955, it was moved across the street to the Old Executive Building.  Richard and Pat Nixon both enjoyed bowling, and so in 1969 they had a one-lane alley built beneath the North Portico using private funds.  -More photos from the Nixon Centennial at the Nixon Library
