Well? Was he?  LOL! I try hard not to stare at people like that but it's difficult, and I think they WANT the attention!

LOL...love it!   The expression of anger and the cry for attention is behind it of course.  We had our version of the same but IMHO it was mild by comparison and the rage and disrespect was not as palpable.

I've said it before - every generation suffers these idiosyncrasies.  In high school, with our torn jeans, platform shoes, being high all the time, long hair, etc... we too were deemed "freaks."    The "bizarre kids" of today are no more "weird"  than we were, just different.    This was my HS I.D. in the late '70's/early '80's.     I rest my case...  🙄 🙄

That ain't you! That's that rock star - what is his name, I forget? LOL! I had long hair for a short time when I first got out of the Army in '68. Had a 'stach for just over 20 years too, but haven't since about '90.

@perrone1 Geez Tony...you look the same as the pic you supplied; except for dying your hair grey for some strange reason. 😆

Well, I was a singer back then, but many thought I resembled Carlos Santana (🤔 🤨) even though I didn't play guitar (too stupid ).  You, OTOH, could've been Charles Bronson's stunt double!  😀 😀

YEAH! Another clean-cut kid, part of the group on the street corner. But John, you don't blend - you harmonize! Part of the foursome. You could have been part of the Jersey Boys!!

@chris YES! For sure Chris, I can see Carlos Santana. You're a younger, more viral sort, I think. But me as Bronson? Nah; he's too short. Bond. Now I can see me as Bond. James Bond:
