My dad, who is white, has a t-shirt printed with this image, the cover of a Barry Adamson album. One of his best friends, Walter, the guy who taught me (almost) everything I know about gumbo, made it for him.
“You need to have this,” Walter, who is black, told him.
Sometimes the shirt makes people uncomfortable. I’m reminded of this because my dad wore it at Omega and one guy asked about it and admitted to being quite taken aback.
My dad and his buddies are pretty funny.
