during his Los Angeles period, many wanted nothing to do with Mr. Coleman, a long-haired Jehovah’s Witness dressed in clothes made by his wife. In Mr. Cherry’s description, he “looked like some kind of black Christ figure, but no Christ anybody had ever seen before.”
That's a quote from his obit in the New York Times, the long hair and his looking lack Christ thing is throwing me off, but the Dubs are all a bit off anyway
