Pee Wee Herman is the only one who can dance at all.

Jimmy Carter is a goldmine. Here he is with Diana Ross singing "happy birthday" on the occasion of his 54th birthday: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/3b/81/b3/3b81b3a63c739690e50eca300df81b7e.jpg
Which leads me to Jimmy Carter's inaugural ball, from a year earlier, which has Bette Davis, Shirley MacLaine, and some other people:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY4j1uw7YUk
Also in attendance were John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Mohammed Ali! But they didn't perform. What an odd line-up.
I was still a tiny baby when Carter was president so I have no idea what he was like, or how he was received. I learn from the internet that he was into rock and roll music:https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/29/us/gallery/jimmy-carter-rock-and-roll-president-cnn-films/index.html
The article contains pictures of Jimmy Carter with (a) Crosby, Stills, and Nash (b) Greg Allman (c) Bob Dylan (d) Luciano Pavarotti (e) Johnny Cash (f) Dolly Parton (g) Willie Nelson (h) Emmylou Harris (g) Dizzy Gillespie (h) Charles Mingus (i) James Brown nb some of those people are not rock and roll musicians.
And yet baby boomers hate him. Whatever you think about him, he had the funk:https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/w_1600/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.cnn.com%2Fcnnnext%2Fdam%2Fassets%2F201209143616-06-jimmy-carter-rock-and-roll-president-cnn-films.jpg

All of those photos let me to the official Twitter account of the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library, which is presumably carefully curated to make him look good, but he does come across as an awkward but well-meaning man:https://twitter.com/CarterLibrary/media
I learn that his daughter Amy's pet Siamese cat was called Misty Malarky Ying Yang. That would probably not be acceptable nowadays, partially because of the name and partially because Americans hate cats.
Big late 1970s energy:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FUU5ESZXEAApvyh?format=jpg&name=900x900
There's a photo of him shaking hands with George Lucas! He saw Star Wars three times at the White House. I learn his brother was a drunk who had beer named after him. This is Rosalyn Carter dressed as a monarch butterfly:https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FSJ1-TxXEAAHsYn?format=jpg&name=medium
Will those image links work? Or is Twitter too weird?
