The guy in the photo was raised by black sharecroppers, a target of an assassination, a multimillionaire inventor/carnival worker, and lost it all only to finally find his rhythm after being homeless and destitute.

You'd be gray haired too.

He started graying mid '70s 🤷

He was also a philanthropist and donated a ton of money to stop cat juggling in South America.

Sounds like a typical bastard.

You just randomly picking on people? It's not like you can flip through phone books anymore...

[-] baronvonj@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That's why things aren't happening for people now. We don't have the spontaneous publicity of our names in print anymore.

I used to be someone.

He also found his special purpose!
