The way this father looks--https://youtu.be/KUXb7do9C-w?t=13 his bug eyes and large forehead--formed my opinion of what coke addicts looked like for most of my life, probably into college. Anyone who even slightly resembled this man made me think they freebased in their free time.

Similarly, as a very young kid, the house we had was on a block that was home to headquarters and offices of various lobbyists. I'd look out the window and watch them going to and from work, mostly bald white men. I thought that bald horseshoe hairline they all had was a chosen style and presumed it must have been cool as shit.
I'd be eating breakfast staring at my Pop's full head low afro thinking to myself, 'why didn't he decide to go with the public rest room split toilet bowl lid cut instead?', more importantly, 'why wouldn't he help me articulate better to the barber to cut my hair as fresh as theirs?'
