Hot on the trails of her 2016 Presidential Campaign, Hillary Clinton <\/span>paid a visit<\/span><\/a> to New York Radio Show, <\/span>The Breakfast Club. <\/span><\/i>As with all media visits during election time, every appearance provides an opportunity to convert skeptics into believers. As the interview drew to a conclusion, Clinton was posed with one final question: \u201cwhat is something that you always carry with you?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Her quasi-instinctive response of \u201chot sauce\u201d drew an eruption of laughter and disbelief from the show\u2019s hosts. Pressing her for clarification, she was asked \u201care you getting in \u2018Formation\u2019 right now?\u201d, ascertaining whether she was alluding to a viral lyric from the politicised, Beyonc\u00e9 anthem of the same name. \u201cHot Sauce in my bag, swag?\u201d the host continues, still noticeably in disbelief that Clinton genuinely resonates with the song. After gathering himself the same host says, \u201cnow listen, I just want you to know, people are going to see this and say \u2018<\/span>okay, she\u2019s pandering to Black people\u2019\u201d. <\/span><\/i>Clinton responds with a wry grimace: \u201cokay… is it working?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Clinton\u2019s attempt to align herself with a pop superstar is by no means a new election tactic. Every four years, US Presidential candidates selectively unite with musicians to sway voters from specific demographics in their direction, with varying degrees of success. It <\/span>has been suggested<\/span><\/a> that, as a nation, American voters’ habits tend to favour spectacle over policy. Presidential contenders whose agenda pragmatically often fails to back the interest of the vulnerable classes \u2014 Carter’s deregulatory policies, Obama’s mass deportations \u2014 not just sweeten but conceal unsavoury attributes into a palatable veneer of \u00a0celebrity-approved decorum. By appealing to a voter\u2019s affective connection with their favourite musician, a politician stands a significantly stronger chance of seducing the undecided and disenchanted.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMusic is the best proof that people have one thing in common. No matter where they live and no matter what language they speak\u201d, explains former US president Jimmy Carter. The former head of state features in a new documentary exploring how his very personal (and, inevitably, electoral) relationships with the likes of Bob Dylan, The Allman Brothers, Cher, Willie Nelson and Nile Rogers soundtracked both his admission into, and life inside The Oval Office.<\/span><\/p>\n

Titled <\/span>Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President,<\/span><\/i> the film also serves to shed an alternative perspective on a president whose domestic legacy outlines a slightly square and bureaucratic figure. In contrast to this reputation, director Mary Wharton wanted to cast a lens on Carter\u2019s declared love of music, and use of the latter as a tool of social unity. As the film releases<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>on Arte, we asked Wharton about the remaining traces of the American Dream, the ingrained voting reflexes of a society of spectacle and the credibility of bonds between political leaders and musicians.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":85974,"id":85974,"title":"Jimmy Carter_Gregg Allman_Photo by Charles Rafshoon","filename":"Jimmy-Carter_Gregg-Allman_Photo-by-Charles-Rafshoon.jpg","filesize":138444,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter_Gregg-Allman_Photo-by-Charles-Rafshoon.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/jimmy-carter-rock-roll-president-mary-wharton-interview\/jimmy-carter_gregg-allman_photo-by-charles-rafshoon\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"jimmy-carter_gregg-allman_photo-by-charles-rafshoon","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":85963,"date":"2020-10-20 08:04:25","modified":"2020-10-20 08:04:25","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1024,"height":768,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter_Gregg-Allman_Photo-by-Charles-Rafshoon.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter_Gregg-Allman_Photo-by-Charles-Rafshoon.jpg","medium-width":1024,"medium-height":768,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter_Gregg-Allman_Photo-by-Charles-Rafshoon.jpg","medium_large-width":1024,"medium_large-height":768,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter_Gregg-Allman_Photo-by-Charles-Rafshoon.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter_Gregg-Allman_Photo-by-Charles-Rafshoon.jpg","1536x1536-width":1024,"1536x1536-height":768,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter_Gregg-Allman_Photo-by-Charles-Rafshoon.jpg","2048x2048-width":1024,"2048x2048-height":768,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter_Gregg-Allman_Photo-by-Charles-Rafshoon.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":16,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter_Gregg-Allman_Photo-by-Charles-Rafshoon.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1024,"wpvr_mobile-height":768}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"Jimmy Carter, Gregg Allman.

The film begins with some shots of Jimmy Carter\u2019s hometown of Plains, Georgia before cutting to a clip where he divulges with a chuckle that: \u201cthose Allman Brothers helped put me in The White House by raising money for me when I didn\u2019t have any money\u201d. The emphasis on Carter\u2019s humble peanut farm beginnings in a small, Southern town perfectly sets the scene for the early stages of an American Dream narrative. Do you feel as though belief in the American Dream is still alive in 2020 and would you say a function of the film is to affirm renewed belief in mythology of the Dream?<\/p>\n

Absolutely! I still want to believe in the promise of the American Dream, despite the fact that it has taken a beating in my lifetime. I think that corporate America has systematically drained the life out of the dream for most Americans by valuing profits over people to the point that we now find ourselves in a period of the greatest of income inequity since The Great Depression. By reminding Americans that we once had a leader (in the not-too-distant past) who pursued policies that allowed the American Dream to flourish, I hope that audiences will come away with a new faith in the ideals and principles that this ideal was founded on.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ve noted in an intervie\u200bw with The Guardian that Carter isn\u2019t remembered as \u201ca particularly cool or hip guy\u201d and thus his affinity for rock\u2019n\u2019roll feels unexpected. Are you, in some ways, trying to rewrite the narrative on how his presidency is collectively remembered by shedding light on more of who he was as a person?<\/p>\n

I always believed that President Carter has gotten a bad rap, because even liberals will say things like, \u201cI love what he\u2019s done post-Presidency, but he was never a very good President\u201d. Maybe I have a different idea of what makes a \u201cgood\u201d President, but I believe that a President whose choices reflect a strong moral compass, and who was willing to sacrifice his own political fortunes for the greater good of the country is about the best that we could ever hope for. The film\u2019s producer, Chris Farrell<\/a> and I wrote a treatment for this film in which we said that we hoped that by using music as the lens through which we viewed President Carter, that it might make audiences re-examine their preconceived notions about him. It\u2019s less about trying to rewrite the history than it is about asking people to look at it differently and maybe think about what\u2019s truly important in a leader.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":85965,"id":85965,"title":"Jimmy Carter Bob Dylan_photo credit Barry Feinstein","filename":"Jimmy-Carter-Bob-Dylan_photo-credit-Barry-Feinstein-e1603181503930.jpg","filesize":360084,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter-Bob-Dylan_photo-credit-Barry-Feinstein-e1603181503930.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/jimmy-carter-rock-roll-president-mary-wharton-interview\/jimmy-carter-bob-dylan_photo-credit-barry-feinstein\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"jimmy-carter-bob-dylan_photo-credit-barry-feinstein","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":85963,"date":"2020-10-20 07:55:39","modified":"2020-10-20 13:50:39","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1500,"height":979,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter-Bob-Dylan_photo-credit-Barry-Feinstein-e1603181503930.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":84,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter-Bob-Dylan_photo-credit-Barry-Feinstein-e1603181503930.jpg","medium-width":1500,"medium-height":979,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter-Bob-Dylan_photo-credit-Barry-Feinstein-e1603181503930.jpg","medium_large-width":1500,"medium_large-height":979,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter-Bob-Dylan_photo-credit-Barry-Feinstein-e1603181503930.jpg","large-width":1500,"large-height":979,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter-Bob-Dylan_photo-credit-Barry-Feinstein-e1603181503930.jpg","1536x1536-width":1500,"1536x1536-height":979,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter-Bob-Dylan_photo-credit-Barry-Feinstein-e1603181503930.jpg","2048x2048-width":1500,"2048x2048-height":979,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter-Bob-Dylan_photo-credit-Barry-Feinstein-e1603181503930.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-Carter-Bob-Dylan_photo-credit-Barry-Feinstein-3139x2048.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":3139,"wpvr_mobile-height":2048}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"Jimmy Carter, Bob Dylan.

In a similar vein, the film uses the nostalgia people hold for the likes of Bob Dylan, Nile Rogers and Willie Nelson to create a common ground between the viewer and Carter. Would you say that music ages more positively than presidencies and if this is the case what is the reason for that?<\/span><\/p>\n

I believe that music is more powerful than presidencies because it touches our soul and opens our hearts. Carter speaks in the film about the power that music had in helping to change hearts and minds about race relations in America during the Civil Rights movement. Music reminds us that we, as humans, have a lot more in common than we are different and helps us to connect with our own humanity and feel empathy towards others.\u00a0 Music brings us together whereas politics divides us and together we are stronger.<\/span><\/p>\n

The film makes the point of emphasising how Carter\u2019s close relationships with popular musicians helped him secure significant portions of the \u2018youth vote\u2019 in his Presidential campaign. Do you think the artists that aligned with Carter were aware of just how large a sway they controlled?<\/span><\/p>\n

No, I don\u2019t believe those artists quite understood their power at that time (nor did anyone else, for that matter). When Bob Dylan speaks of his first meeting with Jimmy Carter, he talks about being surprised that his music had reached into \u201cthe establishment world\u201d that Jimmy Carter inhabited. In 1976, there was still a huge divide between the counter-culture world of rock and roll and the establishment in America, and the Baby Boomer generation was only old enough to have voted in one Presidential election at that point. The anti-war, Democratic candidate George McGovern<\/a>, who had the support of many young musicians, lost in a landslide against Nixon in the 1972 election. So there was no reason to believe at the time that aligning with these figures would help Carter win the election. Carter associated with these people <\/span>in spite<\/span><\/em> of all the advice he was being given at the time that it could be detrimental to his image, and because he understood that musical concerts were an effective fundraising tool for his campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":85967,"id":85967,"title":"Jimmy Carter_Muddy Waters_Photo courtesy of the

The relationship between musicians and politicians has largely endured post-Carter, with Barack Obama aligning himself with Jay-Z and Beyonce, President Trump with Kanye West, and Hillary Clinton with Rae Sremmurd, to name a few. Do you think that in an era where musicians and celebrities largely hold a cultural monopoly, and, frankly, a disproportionate ability to sway elections, there is concern to be raised over how genuine the links formed between politicians and musicians are?<\/span><\/p>\n

In my opinion, whether or not the relationship between a politician and musicians is genuine should be less of a concern than whether a politician maintains relationships with those who might stand to benefit from the policies they put forward. For example, I don\u2019t see how Kanye West benefits from his relationship with President Trump, but I do have concerns about the fact that (as The New York Times reported<\/a>) there have been \u201cover 200 companies, special-interest groups and foreign governments who patronised Mr. Trump\u2019s properties while reaping benefits from him and his administration\u201d. Bernie Sanders\u2019 campaign embraced a number of young, popular musicians, including The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Diplo, Tom Morello, Cat Power, and Kim Gordon. While I don\u2019t believe Bernie Sanders sits around listening to the Chili Peppers and Sonic Youth in his spare time, his association with those musicians was not enough to save his campaign. I think concerns about the nature of these relationships are perhaps overrated.<\/span><\/p>\n

The film highlights an incident recounted in Willie Nelson\u2019s biography where a \u201ca big fat\u00a0<\/span>Austin torpedo\u201d was said to have been smoked within the White House along with a member of White House staff. Whilst this can be seen as a light-hearted moment that resonates with the middle-class American audience, were you at all concerned about exploring the topic given how many people, particularly from low-income backgrounds, have been incarcerated for Marijuana possession in the US\u2014secondly, does this perhaps affirm the belief that there is one law for the many, and another for the privileged few?<\/span><\/p>\n

I agree that we have a long way to go towards reversing some of the racist drug enforcement policies in America. As someone whose family was torn apart when my father was sent to jail on marijuana charges, I don\u2019t take the criminalisation of drugs in this country lightly. When we treat a public health issue as a political tool there is often a heavy price to pay, and unfortunately it is usually the people from low-income backgrounds who suffer the most. But with the decriminalisation of marijuana happening all across America, the humour to be found in the Willie Nelson story told in our film serves to illustrate how far we\u2019ve come. You mentioned Barack Obama\u2019s relationship with Jay-Z before. Jay-Z built a career unafraid of avoiding references to his drug-dealing past, and yet he was welcomed into the Obama White House and is widely celebrated as a symbol of The American Dream, whereas Carter\u2019s association with Gregg Allman was seen as possibly a political suicide after Allman was tainted by a drug scandal. I think that for the most part, Americans today are less likely to fall prey to racist schemes such as the War on Drugs waged by the Reagan Administration. As the pandemic continues to rage across this country, I hope that people will wise up to the fact that politicising public health only serves to preserve the power of those who are doing the politicking.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"blockquote","text":"\"I hope that people will wise up to the fact that politicising public health only serves to preserve the power of those who are doing the politicking.\"","source":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":85975,"id":85975,"title":"Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter_photo credit Jimmy Carter Presidential Library","filename":"Jimmy-and-Rosalynn-Carter_photo-credit-Jimmy-Carter-Presidential-Library.jpg","filesize":377609,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-and-Rosalynn-Carter_photo-credit-Jimmy-Carter-Presidential-Library.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/jimmy-carter-rock-roll-president-mary-wharton-interview\/jimmy-and-rosalynn-carter_photo-credit-jimmy-carter-presidential-library\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"jimmy-and-rosalynn-carter_photo-credit-jimmy-carter-presidential-library","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":85963,"date":"2020-10-20 08:04:28","modified":"2020-10-20 08:04:28","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1920,"height":1250,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-and-Rosalynn-Carter_photo-credit-Jimmy-Carter-Presidential-Library.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":83,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-and-Rosalynn-Carter_photo-credit-Jimmy-Carter-Presidential-Library.jpg","medium-width":1920,"medium-height":1250,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-and-Rosalynn-Carter_photo-credit-Jimmy-Carter-Presidential-Library.jpg","medium_large-width":1920,"medium_large-height":1250,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-and-Rosalynn-Carter_photo-credit-Jimmy-Carter-Presidential-Library.jpg","large-width":1920,"large-height":1250,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-and-Rosalynn-Carter_photo-credit-Jimmy-Carter-Presidential-Library.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1000,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-and-Rosalynn-Carter_photo-credit-Jimmy-Carter-Presidential-Library.jpg","2048x2048-width":1920,"2048x2048-height":1250,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-and-Rosalynn-Carter_photo-credit-Jimmy-Carter-Presidential-Library.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Jimmy-and-Rosalynn-Carter_photo-credit-Jimmy-Carter-Presidential-Library-3145x2048.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":3145,"wpvr_mobile-height":2048}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter.

Would you say that the Carter Presidential campaign exhibits a voting reflex of the American public to vote for the candidate with the greater accompanying spectacle as opposed to voting with a more policy-driven agenda?<\/span><\/p>\n

I would agree that a certain segment of the American public will vote for the candidate that says the things they want to hear, without looking too carefully at whether or not the actual policies of that candidate match the messaging of the campaign. However, I don\u2019t believe that the success of the Carter campaign was a reflection of that. Carter was able to mobilise the young peoples\u2019 vote by aligning his campaign with musicians, but he also followed through on the campaign promises that he made to those young voters, such as when he pardoned the so-called \u201cdraft dodgers\u201d and welcomed home hundreds of thousands of young Americans who had left the country to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War (an issue that was important to his friend, Gregg Allman). Carter campaigned as a man of the people and as President <\/span>he introduced a number of ambitious programs for social and economic reform, and included a relatively large number of women and minorities in his cabinet. I would argue that Carter\u2019s policies in office were a direct reflection of the messages he put forward in his campaign. If voters were swayed by the killer soundtrack of the Carter campaign, they were lucky to have elected a man who cared as deeply about enacting policies that benefited the American public as he did about the music that he listened to in his spare time.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"
