Sight and Sound

Remember those psychedelic shops during the Sixties? There was one in my hometown called Sight and Sound, on Mamaroneck Avenue. My mom took me and my sister there often when we were kids. The owner, with mocha skin and a big afro, was always seated at the counter, smiling, chatting, with a gap between his two front teeth. Later my sister told me that my mom was flirting with him. I never picked up on that. Anyway I remember the red, white, and blue "Impeach Nixon" buttons. Today I'm thinking about those buttons, and about the day-glow posters with "Make Love Not War" in gloopy pink and orange type. We need a poster for today. It should read "Make Art Not War."
