I came here for this quote. Very happy I didn’t have to scroll for it.

"I'm not offended by homosexuality. In the '60s, I made love to many, many women, often outdoors, in the mud and the rain, and it's possible a man slipped in. There would be no way of knowing."

He is adorable, beautiful even!

Too bad he smells like mung beans.

Old kung Fu punching bags were filled with mung beans because they broke down well and helped heal the hands.

Nobody steals from Creed Bratton and gets away with it. The last person who did it disappeared.

His name? Creed Bratton.

Holy shit! Creed was the lead vocalist in the grass roots?!

SoSide5182 t1_itndb8e wrote

He wasn't the lead vocalist, he was a guitarist. That band went through a ton of lineup changes, he was in for a while in the mid to late 60s.

Decades before he retired from music and became a Quabbity Assuance manager for a paper company.

Back when men were men. Men are also men today as well, but he was still a man back then, too.

Interestingly enough, back in this time period, women were also women and boys were boys. We can draw a lot of comparisons today because those same people are alive today and they are still either women, or men, or girls.

Wild stuff to think about.

Certainly none of them are still girls and some of them are no longer with us at all.

More likely a headshot from the 70s.

But who needs accuracy, especially from a repost bot?

Not sure who downvoted you. He did not look like this when he was in The Grassroots.

SoSide5182 t1_itndjb4 wrote

Exactly, when he was in the band had long hair (well for the time anyway) but no beard.

sje46 t1_itnm1wa wrote

Yeah I was thinking this is in no way a 60s look. Very 70s going into early 80s I'd say. And he looks slightly too old to be in a trendy 60s pop-rock band in that photo (not that it's impossible but there really weren't that many popular rock/psych/pop musicians in their 30s)

razzlefrazzen t1_itn93p3 wrote

What a great band. Saw them live a couple of times back in the Nineties and they were still fantastic. LA's "Wrecking Crew" played on the majority of their hits back in the Sixties. That alone is reason enough to give them another listen if you haven't checked them out in a while.

He looks like he should be starring in an off-Broadway version of Jesus Christ Superstar.

I thought this was an old photo of a serial killer (I didn’t look at the sub name before seeing the photo) looks a bit Peter Sutcliffe like? Or is that just me?
