In 1960, Frank Sinatra recorded this campaign song for JFK. My parents had the 45 and we played it pretty often (I was eleven). Can't explain why I just remembered it, but I though some readers might enjoy it.
Note that Kennedy's slogan in the second verse was "Keep America Strong," as he ran to the right of Nixon on national defense.
If there was a musical rejoinder from Nixon, or any comparable campaign song, I never heard it.
High hope in 1960, BIG DOPE today.
And I would add, while Thailand rescues and frees its children, the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, puts children in cages.
