My Republican Dad
My Republican Dad in the tricorner hat. The cannon was his & it's real. Took his American history seriously, not so much himself. I'll match him up against anyone's Republican dad.
This photo probably explains something about me. & about the kinds of people I like. No, not exhibitionists. People who know something about something & don't apologize for who they are & what they like. Without Dad's example I never would've gone on WFMU with the music I brought to it.
An editor of Weird NJ, great magazine, once had the audacity to suggest the publication had influenced me. Didn't even warrant a response from me. He'd never driven around Jersey with Dad.
