Excellent and concise account of this example.<br /><br />We must remember the beret Che Guevara wore and later became the trademark of both the man and revolution in more than simply politics, was worn by a man who was responsible for the brutal deaths of literally thousands of Cubans and others across the world.<br /><br />Yet we celebrate "Che's beret" as iconic.<br /><br />The beret is such a universal headgear signature. At the same time it has been and is today worn by the most simple of people in lifestyle and culture. Meant only to keep the head warm, to ward off the elements, to identify one's tribe or region or group, to represent the unique "Me" of the wearer, to honor cultures and accomplishments and hopes and dreams.<br /><br />Such a simple form of headgear. Such a complicated history.<br /><br />Beautiful for all time.<br /><br />Thank you, Daan.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13406735648883821016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281872119838034340.post-71819944996493528502017-09-14T20:32:44.263+12:002017-09-14T20:32:44.263+12:00Berets, as everything else, have a light and dark ...Berets, as everything else, have a light and dark side.
