I admit I'm out of touch w/today's pop music - indeed, I avoid it like the plague. I'm a great-grand unc.

But as I have not seen anyone w/that haircut since Moe Howard died, I question his status as a "fashion icon"

That's way past a mullet in the back.

Not even sure what you'd call that.

this isn't 1965, w/everyone watching the same TV variety shows

With today's numerous entertainment alternatives it's much easier to avoid pop music

That hair style was a Frankenstein of New Iberia meets Beatles. He looks pissed in that photo, I would be too if I was rocking that abortion.

His hairstyles and the way he dressed changed with each album. It was part of his act

Yeah, it's sad. I am in my mid 40s and liked Oliver Tree. Dude never took himself too seriously and put out some interesting music









ETA: He said his newest album was his last because he was retiring after. Everyone took it as a typical Oliver Tree troll, but I guess it really was his last album.

I have never understood helicopter travel other than things like medivac or some other specialized need. If an airplane fails in flight, there's a chance of coasting to a crash landing. When a helicopter fails, you're dead.

Not familiar with autorotation?

“ Autorotation is an emergency state of flight in which a helicopter's main rotor blades are driven entirely by upward-flowing air rather than the engine. If an engine fails, the pilot immediately lowers the collective (pitch control) to let air rush up through the blades, allowing the helicopter to safely glide to the ground.”

“ Because an engine failure requires instantaneous reaction, all licensed helicopter pilots must train and regularly practice autorotations.”
