If you’ve ever watched a white politician trying to act all loose and ‘down’ when interacting with black folks, you get the idea. Or imagine a group of evangelicals deciding to show up at Burning Man. There’s a strange magic that just bursts with absurd possibility.
Which brings us to the golden era of the 1970s, when Hippies and Peckerwoods found themselves crossing paths thanks to the ‘back-to-the-Earth’ zeitgeist of the day.
