Weicker was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1970—perhaps with some help from buttons like this, which were created for his campaign. Weicker, a Republican, made a name for himself when serving on the Senate Watergate Committee as the first Republican to call for the resignation of then-President Richard Nixon. 

Weicker left the Republican Party in 1990 and was successfully elected Governor of Connecticut as a third-party candidate that year—one of the few third party candidates to have been elected to a state governorship in the United States. He served one term and did not seek re-elected in 1994.

Culture Club is a new-wave pop group formed in London in 1981. The band is best known for hits including "Do You Really Want to Hurt Me" and "Karma Chameleon."

In one infamous incident, Boy George was refused entry to France by airport personnel unless he agreed to change into "male apparel."
