40 YEARS OF WHOPP

69e3d1a1d4071.jpg

For one week only, it's a special membership drive RETURN TO THEMES!

On April 4, 1986 The New York Times published a gripping article about disgraced former president Richard Nixon stopping at a Burger King (in Manahawkin, pretty sure, now closed) on a drive down the Jersey shore 2 days prior. A day that was henceforth known as Whopper Day (observed) to my friend Tom, his brother, and other than that, basically just me. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of this momentous event, along with the WPRB Spring Membership Drive I will be playing songs about bad presidents, New Jersey, and fast food! And Pat from Clamour Club is here with me!!

"Best Wishes to Burger King, home of the Whopper, love Richard Nixon"
