Reading a book about the history of Rolling Stone magazine, I came across a reference to the publication's editor and founder, Jann Wenner, calling George McGovern "a righteous cat."
McGovern was a U.S. Senator from the state of South Dakota in the 1960s and '70s.
"a righteous cat."
LOL
"Hippie" - talk
I hope the senator heard about that remark at the time - a gentle, taciturn son of a minister (Methodist, I think...), he would have been surprised and amused (or perhaps bemused) to hear himself spoken of that way by a member of that "long-haired younger generation."
