1992 Arkansas governor Bill Clinton, campaigning for
US president, makes a whistle stop on The Arsenio Hall Show,

on the saxophone to a cheering, youthful audience. The
appearance is later seen as the definitive moment when
Clinton captured the trust and support of young voters,
and locked the election on charisma points.
