🥥 If I recall correctly, #AlHaig was also a chief of staff to Nixon. 🥥
@JStatePost
Ha, glad to find out that's a different Al Haig - the bebop Haig went through some difficult stories, too ...

🥥 I think the political #AlHaig was called Al "Power-Hungry" Haig, and the be-bop artist was known as Al "Jazz-Man" Haig. 🥥
@JStatePost
