Reality Check by Dave Whamond for May 22, 2024

Peace, man.

But I always dress like this.

I had some white bell bottoms. What was I thinking?

The dog, the squirrel….

angelolady, —-the Peace signs.

Yes, I remember it well. I spent a good deal of time in San Francisco back then and experienced it all first hand.

“You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.” – Bob Dylan

Eh me thoughts that was the 70s or late 60s perhaps.

When I think of dressing for the 60’s I think more of Dan Draper or James Bond than anything else

My bell bottoms were chocolate brown and worm with blue patent leather shoes that had 2-in h heels. It was a fashion statement … at the time.

O Man! I hate my pix from the ’60s.

turn on, tune in, drop out…

The 60’s… where every sentence ended with “Man”, and every goodbye ended with “Peace”… ツ

Rerun of an “All in the Family” sitcom?

Peace symbol upside down?

I kind of like the interpretation though.

But he’s dressed as one of the Weathermen!

Well it might have been if the forecast was for…………….

Purple haze all in my brain

Lately, things just don’t seem the same

Actin’ funny but I don’t know why

’Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around

Don’t know if I’m comin’ up or down

Am I happy or in misery?

Whatever it is, that girl put a spell on me

Help me (help me)

Help me

Oh, no, no, no

Uhh, ahh

Uhh, ahh

Uhh, ahh

Uhh, ahh

Yeah

Purple haze all in my eyes

Don’t know if it’s day or night

You got me blowin’, blow my mind

Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?

No, help me

Ah, yeah, purple haze

Oh, no, oh

Oh, help me

Tell me, girl, tell me (help me)

I can’t go on like this

You’re makin’ me blow my mind (help me)

No, no (help me)

No, no (help me)

i had bell bottoms in the 80’s…was in the Navy

A domestic terrorism alert? Are the Weathermen making a comeback on college campuses?

I enjoyed the home-spunny style of clothing, my long hair and pushing love forward instead of war and hate. That’s what I remember.

Where does he keep the long blond wig?

“High” pressure and “high” temps, man.

Fair (sic) out, man …!

( it’s all so far, far away )

Aah, the years at ultra liberal UW-Madison, 1961-64, and walking around in an ROTC uniform during the soldier dissing riots.

Hm… I’m trying, but I just can’t seem to remember the 60’s…

And an afghan coat, how they stank!

Why Not ?

Ha! Far Fahrenheit out, dude.

“It’s cool, man. It’s cool.”

Today, weather here calls for dressing in the mid 80’s! (And carry an umbrella)

The forecast is far out. :)

Ooh. Bad trip. :)

It’ been in the "80"s here. I will not put padding on my shoulders !

I wish GoComics would publish Mr Whamond’s spot on political cartoons.

Dress like you are 60? And trying too hard.

hey, man, your peace sign is upside down! (laugh hysterically)

I remember bell bottoms and sewing extra denim in them to make them bigger and cooler. You had to be there to understand.
