| | | Carter had a visionary understanding of the climate crisis ahead, which only grows more profound with each passing year By Jeff Goodell | | | | | | | | His one term was rocked by multiple crises, but the 39th president will be remembered for his extraordinary decency and philanthropic legacy | | | | | | | "Jimmy Carter was a typical Southern guy who grew up loving music and he was as true as he could be as part of that world," the Band co-founder told Rolling Stone in 2023 | | | | | | | "Guided by his faith, President Carter lived to serve others — until the very end," former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote in a joint statement | | | | | | | Before Clinton's classic-rock love and Obama's R&B shout-outs, the 39th president tapped into rock culture — and business — in a way no one had. | | | | | | | "He was a very nice and intelligent man," the Allman Brothers co-founder told Rolling Stone in 2023. "People don’t realize how great and meaningful somebody is until they pass away" | | | | | | | The 39th president’s one-term was complicated, but the years following left an indelible mark for the good | | | | | | | He seemed like the most open and honest man ever elected president. So why does his true nature remain so elusive, even to those who know him best? | | | | | | | Third-rate romance, low-rent rendezvous — hanging with Ted Kennedy, Jimmy Carter, and a bottle of Wild Turkey | | | |
