Mick Kleber ’69: From Marines to Music (via Nixon’s White House)
What do Richard Nixon’s resignation, Tina Turner, Andy Warhol, Rodney Dangerfield, Frank Sinatra, MC Hammer, Timothy Leary, Ollie North, Pope Francis, The Beach Boys, John Wayne, Bob Hope, and the Mickey Mouse Club have in common?
They’re all part of the life of Mick Kleber — a long, strange trip from Marine combat missions in Vietnam to the Watergate White House to the golden age of music video to celebrity-driven advocacy campaigns for healthcare’s biggest brands, and more. An eclectic sojourn to say the least.
Break out your favorite beverage, smoke, or edible, imagine yourself lounging with friends in your college common room, and join Mick’s football teammate, Fred Morris, as he moderates a lively hour of entertaining retrospection with Mick and you. This is not intended as a deep dive interview into politics, medicine, law, or any other particular subject, but rather as a wide open, all-hands session with an emphasis on engaging storytelling, provocative perspectives, and fun.
