Huey Long

There is a reason that the story of Robin Hood is a classic and appeals to the masses as a story of one that steals from the rich to give to the poor.  If you’re not part of the ultra-wealthy, odds are you feel at least a little slighted by “the man” at times.  Well, once in a while, one of “the men” truly does work to give more to those he serves. But as time has shown, as will this show, the ability to stay true to your values often goes out the window when power and the almighty dollar is involved.  Huey “The Kingfish” Long was a powerful Senator that had eyes on the presidency, running on a platform of “every man is a king, but no one wears a crown” policies.  It sounded great to many, but obviously not that great to the people that gunned him down.  But were Long’s intentions as pure as he portrayed?  Did he himself get tied up in political corruption?  And how many times will the guys mistake Huey Long for Huey Lewis during this episode?  We’ll dive into all this and more in the Huey Long episode of AHC Podcast.     Intro Music Credit: [No Copyright Sound] Old Times - Aries Beats - [ FREE USE MUSIC, Creative Commons, Rap, Hip Hop, Sad, Old School,  Instrumental Beat ] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIsSZx7lR8Y https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/
