Back then, I had hair to wear a flower in.

Remember when the American flag motif was rebellious?

It was rebellious because many (the Establishment?) thought it was a disrespectful use of the flag motif.
Last evening at raquetball/pickleball/book club, a friend, Bill Vasilogambros, told of how he immigrated to the US as a kid in 1966. Right after the Immigration law of the 20s, banning people of Mediterranean heritage from coming to the US was overturned. I knew he was Greek. But I didn't realize he was a born there and naturalized. He's a great guy. Anyway, he was saying he wants to hang a flag out in front of his house. His wife (non-Greek) said, "People will think you're a redneck." He said, "Why should the flag be a symbol for only one side of the great divide?" I heartedly agree.
I think I'll go out and buy a nice flag now to hang.

Remember when the American flag motif was rebellious? As I've related before, one of Nancy's cousins ended up in that movie, in the scene in the small-town cafe on the way to New Orleans. The town was Morganza, home to a bunch of cousins.

No. I don’t remember this. Are you sure you aren’t thinking of a movie?

Easy Rider. "High" art. Movie sucked. Nancy's cousin was cute. Lives in Lafayette these days. Runs campaigns for Democrat candidates.

I was not even a notion in my parents' brains at the time the song was released, and had yet to make my debut when the movie did.
