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.

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)

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.

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
