and then long hair was a pretty accurate indicator of someone's politics.
I remember walking by a TV one day around 1975 and it was showing the all too familiar scene of the"fascist police" harassing a bunch of "peaceful hippies." I stopped to watch my longhair brothers fighting back until the caption appeared at the bottom - Police Break Up KKK Rally.
