Admit it, George: you are having to re-live the worst parts of your life all over. Concentration camps, authoritarianism, going after educational institutions, etc. It is truly sad. Wait til we get disco and bell bottoms again. That should really drive the point home that history is repeating.
I'm afraid you're gonna need a few 'bridge at Selma' moments before the funky music and groovy hair really get into full swing.
If it brings back funk, okay. Groovy hair, okay. But not disco. And not bell bottoms. Both are impractical and non-essential. BTW, spent the afternoon in the shop listening to Earth, Wind, and Fire. Nothing like welding with a groove.
