The doomed character of Robert Cook may have been a fictional one, but over the last 45 years, not much has been done about the major drug problem in the US, nor have breakdowns between race relations (One of "Those People" that Mother objects to has to be Black or Hispanic, or maybe either gay or transgender; nothing much has changed with the hatred and mistrust.) Think's message may have been awful & overtly-dramatic, but the message is unfortunately relevant 45 years later. Even former President Reagan must have heard this record enough to launch his failed "Just Say No" & "War On Drugs" 13 years after it's release. It wasn't enough to get the point across.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
