‘He has some great stuff and some that is not. He certainly could see into the future and the direction of society. Back from his “Freak Out” album “and I don’t even care if your dad’s a he.”’

I was an instant fan, starting with Freak Out. I also liked Absolutely Free a lot, and We’re Only In It for the Money. After that, I had mixed feelings and wasn’t always automatically buying new releases, but there were still some ones I loved, like Ruben and the Jets.

Incidentally, I first thought the same thing you did about the word ‘he’ in the line you quoted. But I then changed my mind, thinking he was saying ‘Hebe’, a reference to Jewish ancestry.

Now, from wikipedia, another possibility exists:

“Hebe, an ethnic slur for a Jew

Shortened form of Hebephilia, a sexual interest in pubescent children”

To me, this makes more sense in the context of the song than ‘he’...
