ROFLMTO...Let me tell you that when I was VERY young, and went to NYC for first time, and turned the corner on BLeaker ST in Greenich Village...what I saw coming at me was unbelievable. HAIR was a popular Broadway Show then..or winding down. Anyway this guy was wearing a US Flag made into a jumpsuit with HAIR fanned and curly way out about 6 inches long in one of those afros that were popular...I still occasionally have a flashback of that scene...whew! The trip up the Empire State Building and the tiny, tiny yellow cabs did not impress me as much as that guy.
Remember the Afros in the 70’s? My brother has very curly dark hair - the Jewish kids at school always thought he was Jewish - and he had a 6-inch deep Afro in 1978. Only white guy in the school with the right hair!
