It’s also been said that if your vote doesn’t matter, why do they try so hard to take it away from you? Physical intimidation, racism, sexism, poll taxes, literacy tests, barring convicted felons from voting, gerrymandering – all of these things have happened since Mark Twain’s death.
Whether it’s about Franklin encouraging people to vote, or about how cash influences elections, it’s right on the money (pun intended!). Anyone trying to make it about a specific political party is missing the point.
Connors and McEnroe have already been mentioned, but don’t forget Ilie “Nasty” Nastase – he was a piece of work, too! Well, he was a piece of something…apparently, he still is, or at least as of 2017: Google “Ilie Nastase Fed Cup ban”
Actually, “funkitis” is a good thing in a musical context!
