I think Oliver Sacks wrote about that artist. You like Sacks? Me like Sacks.

My theory on the hat thing is that the men-wear-hats thing petered out with the guys about 20 years older than Peter. Meaning that, as Peter came up, the guys wearing hats were probably the guys about that much older.

Shame they've never come back like in the old movies.

I heard of the artist on a PBS documentary on unusual variations of the human mind and perceptions a few years ago.

The problem with those hats coming back is that when I see them on a young man, it looks silly to me, like a six-year-old girl in her mommy's high heels and evening gown. I just don't think they *could* come back.

I picture someday going to the Fedora Faire--a faux early 20th century town where the anachronistic buskers play jazz between the makeshift consession stand and the porta-potties, and the ticket takers speak in faux Raymond Chandler.

It just won't be right.

Real men still wear hats.
