I once met a black girl named Betty. That song was playing in my head for 2 days afterward and I felt like an asshole.

Your dad reminds me of Ray Manzarek from The Doors.

It looks like your dad's Wang is blurred out. Thank you for that. Strange picture... (After zooming in, I realize it's a window reflection)

Question: did they stay hippie or did they become more conservative over time?

Not OP but my hippie rural Appalachian parents stayed liberal. They however did fade from being hippies and got office jobs in the early 80's when I was born to afford a kid.

A snapshot of the standard Baby Boomer homeowner at 21YO in 1974, about to piss away the ethos of the hippies and replace it with being conspicuously-consuming yuppies under Reagan.

as Dylan and others pointed out, Death of a Free Festival (Bowie), it was a scene interrupted by financial opportunism and social fraud

just like every other scene before and after. I was With It, once; but they changed what It was. Now everything's weird and scary to me... And it'll happen to yoooou

Not sure if it's the reflection from the glass or what, but at first glance I thought your dad had his butt on his front. A front butt.

Very groovy house. Hope the chairs suited him ok.

I’m from rural Appalachia and there is a place a lot of hippies used to live here called hippie hollow. Just thought this might be interesting to OP and have no where to go with this
