#SoulMan #SoulSinger Sam Moore, 89, of Sam & Dave Duo Dies Of #Surgery Complications in #Florida.

Known for 60's hits on #Stax label, by early 1970s Moore had averse dealings with former duo mate David Prater, only briefly reuniting, but Moore was embraced by many show biz stars including Bruce Springsteen, Lou Reed and Don Henley. After recovering from drug addiction in 1980s, Sam even had acting role as a Reverend on 1993 #PBS series #TalesOfTheCity shortly before recording a duet of "Rainy Night In Georgia" with country singer Conway Twitty.

#SamMoore fully supported #GOP and even collaborated with #LeeAtwater and #BobDole in 1990s, and appeared with Prez #DJT at #WhiteHouse in 2018 alongside Kid Rock, Mike Love and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. Moore also admitted to fathering “14 or 15 children” but had relationships with only a few, claiming "some of them resent me or want me to pay for them."

The Ghost of #LeeAtwater haunts the nation.

"Now, you’re talking about cutting #taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally #economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “[n-word, n-word].”
- Lee Atwater, 1981

"(Lee) Atwater’s draft memoir makes clear that he had already mastered the dark political arts as a teen-ager. In fact, it seems that practically everything Atwater learned about politics he learned in high school. It’s easy to see the future of the Republican Party in the anti-intellectual dirty tricks of his school days."

Lee Atwater was master of attack and dog-whistle politics. We should be alive to his methods and their effects – not emulating them, says writer and broadcaster Nels Abbey
