Not mocking Che but the youth culture's reaction to him; do you remember the radical-chic consumer culture, yes CHE a martyr ready to die for his love OF humanity,
I recall Shirts with Che Guevara emblazoned over one's chest
which attested that you were a radical and all of 11 years of age, well I was naive enough to wear one myself, to prove I too WAS 'RIGHT ON' AS the youth of that time turned CHE into the hero/saint of the radical-chic consumer culture,
Yes...a veritable a martyr ready to die for his love for humanity, and I was too
Bye the bye, I was living in a five story house in Kensington at the time, hey but that did stop me from a radical leftist. (Sorry..tee hee hee)
Do you recall Che's famous quote
“You may have to be tough,but do not lose your tenderness.You may have to cut the flowers,but it will not stop the Spring.” How profound is that?
Well, not very.
Recalling the memory and the tee shirt brings tear to my eyes. (Joke)
