When he was governor of New York, Franklin Roosevelt was
once asked at a press conference by a woman reporter what
was his favorite song. The press conference dealt with far
more
weighty subjects. Roosevelt, flustered and stumped for something
to say was only able to stammer, "Home On The Range."
Thereafter, at public functions, the band played, Hail to
The
Chief, then segued into Home On The Range. Roosevelt hated
it, but he was stuck with it.
