In 1971, Ricky Nelson played a rock ‘n’ roll oldies show at Madison Square Garden. Expecting cheers, he got boos when he played newer material like “Country Honk.” Shaken but not broken, he turned the cold shoulder into a hit—Garden Party in 1972. The song laid it out plain: you can’t please everyone, so you gotta please yourself. It became his last Top 10 hit. #americana | Truck Stop Chic
