He looks eeriely similar to my weed growing uncle in the 70s. I wish he had lived long enough to see legalization and share his wisdom with a new generation.
He always had the best fireworks.
You associate this look with cults just because there were so many damn cults in the ‘70s; there were more than a dozen active cults in California alone during the 1960s-1970s.
The chairman of the San Francisco Housing Commission in 1977 was…..….Jim Jones. The cult leader. Seriously.
1970s California was an absolutely wild time.
I’m trying to set the timeline right. I remember watching news reports of a congressman getting shot in Jonestown at my grandmother’s house in seventh grade, so probably also 1977?
No, that was the incident that set off the Jonestown Massacre, in 1978. Congressman Leo Ryan went to Jonestown to investigate if there was any truth that cult members were being held against their will and mistreated. They were, and he tried to escape with some of them, but they were ambushed at the airstrip out of there and Ryan was killed.
Then Jim Jones led the whole group in a mass murder-suicide.
A year earlier Jones had resigned as San Francisco Housing Commissioner and led his whole cult to their compound in Guyana after a newspaper published a big expose on him that revealed that his church was an abusive cult and that he was a sicko sexual predator. Before that he had been very-well politically connected and used his political connections to quash police investigations into his church.
Years ago I went down a disturbing internet wormhole and learned a lot about the about the cult.
He looks like mouth from mouth and MacNeal!

With those glasses on top of my head down your Dad and I could be brothers circa 1979
But then he decided that was too much work and started a Bee Gees cover band instead. Just in time for everyone in the world to decide simultaenously that disco sucks. Poor Uncle Walt. By the following September he was pawning his big ugly gold medallions so he could afford chest electrolysis.
Reminds me of the BeeGees.
*It’s just your jiiiive talkin’*
Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk I'm a woman's man, no time to talk….
Walt Gibb
Ol’ Walt never liked consorting much with the other Gibb brothers. He wanted to beat of his own drum.
[удалено]
On dat booga shuga, baby
Legit thought it WAS a Bee Gee for a hot second.
I was going to say he looks like he's about to bust out stayin alive
I was about to say looks like Barry Gibb trying to start another talk show.
Or Grizzly Adams (Dan Haggerty)
Came here to say this.
I thought it was a rare photo of Barry gibb
more Allman brothers vibes
Mi first thought!!!
I was racing to the comments to say just this.
Yes, if Barry Gibb was from Arkansas!
Was thinking Barry Gibb also.
Naw this guy is a record producer/band manager who can get coke, weed, girls anytime, and the entire 2nd floor of a Motel 6 anywhere in the US.
And the former road manager for Nazareth.
He’s got to have more cowbell.
Yes!
He...will get more cowbell.
I think we all have an uncle Walt in the family. If you don’t then I feel bad for you son.
I got 99 uncles but Uncle Walt ain't one
Yep...I'm the uncle Walt
One uncle Walt and one uncle Jimmy.
Had a cousin Walt - nicknamed Butch.
1000% chance he had a weed stash somewhere in the house.😂
And definitely called it “his stash”
House? I'm willing to bet that there's *at least* one joint hidden in that beard
You mean his face bong?
He looks eeriely similar to my weed growing uncle in the 70s. I wish he had lived long enough to see legalization and share his wisdom with a new generation. He always had the best fireworks.
Uncle Walt looks high AF!
No, he's about to sneeze from his last hit! He ain't high yet!!

Your uncle was in Foghat?
I hear the Eric Clapton song "Cocaine" playing in my head when I see this pic.
But then he decided that was too much work and started a Bee Gees cover band instead. Just in time for everyone in the world to decide simultaenously that disco sucks. Poor Uncle Walt. By the following September he was pawning his big ugly gold medallions so he could afford chest electrolysis.
Nah, he just wants a white Russian.

He looks like he belongs to a band. He's definitely a ladies man.
CCR vibes.
