It’s crazy what living through the early to mid 20th century did to people. The depression, dust bowl, three American wars, lead shooting out of exhaust pipes and into the air from every vehicle on every street, people smoking in every building you went into, drinking like crazy…the list goes on.

You posted the name so I looked up his wiki and it said he was born in 1928. “Oh thank god, 1928 was waaay before the Godfather, so the title was just a joke.”

Then I did the math. Jesus he really was only in his mid-40s in that picture. He died at 47. From a heart attack. At 47. I’m almost 47.
