Recording Industry Behind Nixon's Resignation, Left Clues in Song Lyrics

Rona Barret is on hand at the Grammys to introduce the arriving celebrities, while Whoopi Goldberg presents a Grammy to Barbara Streisand who relentlessly thanks herself. Steve Allen stops by and he and Fred try to crack the secret service’s code for the presidential candidates, which consists of old TV show titles. Nixon remembers that the recording industry was behind a conspiracy to get him out of office and that they left clues in lyrics to certain songs. Bette Midler wonders why Sam Donaldson is so uptight and Fred tells her what they were like in the 60’s. Fred takes us to “Woodstock” where Sam is awakened to the cruel reality of the world. He decides he’s the one that must point out the truth.
