Farmers listening to Senator Hubert Humphrey during the 1960 primary campaign in Wisconsin (detailed in Robert Drew’s groundbreaking documentary Primary). The guy at the top looks like shit’s about to go DOWN. Maybe he’s just tired. Maybe he’s bored out of his mind. But if I were a politician making a speech (God forbid, but if I WERE) … and I saw that look coming up at me from out in the crowd, I’d back away very slowly.
