Cool, edgy.
Perhaps when the Broadway musical "West Side Story" was freaking edgy in the 1950s. "Hair" in the late 1960s was far more cool and edgy.
The dancers in West Side Story dated people like Elaine Stritch and Kay Thompson and married actresses like Liza Minnelli.
I suggest letting it go. Long friendships may outweigh racist remarks. I have a friend of forty year who was one of only a few White students in an overwise all black middle school and high school. When he talked about, it was not easy to relive the fighting and verbal abuse in such a racial charged atmosphere. I was bullied as a high school freshman and it is not my favorite subject to discuss.
Years ago I bid on eBay for a very revealing photo of Scott Baio at, I believe, a sports event.
I was outbid, but the seller sent the photos anything. Will check to see if the photo is now online.
When I was in college in the 1960s, star female politcal science professors were making over well over $25,000 dollars a year, a top salary for 1964-1965.in universities

Comment: right decision, but bad for local vendors
In Philadelphia, The Barnes Foundation, a major art museum for Matisse, Cezanne, Renoir, Picasso, Gauguin and Spanish old masters is opening later this month with reservations required and social distancing & masks..
I suggest Ben Platt and his boyfriend try a virtual "I Do! I Do" the two character musical from the mid 1960s. The musical is written for a straight couple. The song are not greatly memorable and it is known as a vehicle for long established stars. As Trump often says, what do you have to lose?"
How do you suggest people with multiple fractured ribs can go back to work without medication? Or just begin to resume normal every day Life? I was able to attend the US Open Tennis Tournament as planned, but with medication and a friend drove, I did not.
I live near what is Franklintown in Philadelphia, an urban renewal project in the 1970s. A close friend lived there, but moved in after condemnation, so wasn't eligible for federal relocation benefits (up to $4000). But, for years he paid quite low rent in an apartment building just a bit outside the boundaries of the project.
The overwhelming majority of tenants and homeowners were white. Mostly elderly single room occupancy men. My friend is an artist and also does commercial art work. The younger people tended to be students and artists, living in Center City Philly.
The Barnes Foundation is just outside the project as well. It is sad though to see that old neighborhood completely gone. Too much vacant land.
Did Scott appear in these so called X rated films? Near the end of his acting career, he was mostly naked in a film about an Italian family in New York City.
