I’m 62, well educated, and read the internet everyday, especially FR. Never heard the term before. I thought Strange Fruit was another name for Ugly Fruit, which can be purchased in a store.
***and read the internet everyday, especially FR. Never heard the term before***
I had a comment deleted on FR several years ago when I mentioned “strange fruit” hanging from trees and lamp posts.
Now I write this...”In the olden days if this had happened, a part of the city would burn down and (comment removed before the mods see it), but then it would be safe to walk the streets again for years.”
No I knew the term.. Mom was a big Billie Holiday fan.. so knew the song and the story..
