Cover of Ry Cooder’s 1972 album “Into the Purple Valley.” He’s driving a Buick convertible in the rain. His then wife Susan Titelman is the passenger. Photo shot on the Warners Bros lot per Wikipedia. An excellent album for 2025!

I only remember the drug consumption behind the counter.
A 1974 illustration of Ronald McDonald and friends after epic drug consumption. Even the cop is high.

My son reminded me of this passage from Gravity’s Rainbow concerning Germany’s Herero and Nama genocide.
"Forty years ago, in Südwest, we were nearly exterminated. There was no reason. Can you understand that? No reason. We couldn't even find comfort in the Will of God Theory. These were Germans with names and service records, men in blue uniforms who killed clumsily and not without guilt. Search-and-destroy missions, every day. It went on for two years. The orders came down from a human being, a scrupulous butcher named von Trotha. The thumb of mercy never touched his scales. "We have a word that we whisper, a mantra for times that threaten to be bad. Mba-kayere. You may find that it will work for you. Mba-kayere. It means I am passed over. To those of us who survived von Trotha, it also means that we have learned to stand outside our history and watch it, without feeling too much. A little schizoid. A sense for the statistics of our being."
