If we descend to the level of arguing whether a given headpiece is a hat or not then we all deserve to die.

If you don't think it's a hat, don't vote for it. But the consensus on the poll thread was in favour of considering Sun Ra behatted.
― dubplates and monster munch (seandalai), Saturday, 3 September 2011 00:15 (twelve years ago) link

Scrolled down on phone. Saw the first Lonnie Liston Smith one, clicked that option. Scrolled down further, saw Sun Ra, clicked that one instead. Scrolled down further, read thread, agreed that it's more of a helmet than a hat, changed vote back to Lonnie Liston Smith's first one.

OK, I just gotta post this here. From "Space is the Place" (the bio), here's Sun Ra's interview with the extremely condescending TV talk-show host Alan Burke:
Ra: My message is that the reason that America is in turmoil today is that there's a nation missing among the nations, a nation from an ancient world. And because that nation is missing, we have a void among the nations.Burke: What nation is that?Ra: The nation of the ancient Egyptians. The Egypt that is there now is not the real Egypt, and these people have been deplaced, and some of the people down among the so-called Negroes are ancient Egyptians, and the American people are mean to these people, and they're going to have to turn them loose in order to have peace upon this planet.Burke: What is that, that you're playing with?Ra: Well, this is just a hat.Burke: It's a what?Ra: It's a hat.Burke: A hat? Would you put it on for us?Ra: I use it sometime when I'm playing in my band, playing space music.Burke: Space music?Ra: Yeah.Burke: Do you have a message for us?Ra: Yes, the message is that you should study, and at least you should try an understand about the ancient Egyptians. We hear that the Negroes are in need of help, and they aren't getting any, and the Negroes are getting riled up and everybody is saying that they're poor, and that they don't have anything, but the ancient Egyptians are never mentioned in the press or anywhere else. They've come to America from the Middle East.Burke: Do those ancient Egyptians of which you speak have a spokesman other than yourself?Ra: Well, who should be a better spokesman for the ancient Egyptians than I?Burke: Well, I...just don't know, Ra.Ra: That's the way it's written, and as it is written, so it is.Burke: Well, I'll just have to take your word for it. I, uh, thank you for coming up and good luck in your pyramid.

There was also a very tall man who appeared on stage 3x to do some deep-voiced ululation (?) and provide inspirational words, but he was not introduced. He just walked out, said his stuff, disappeared, repeated at the middle and end of the set, and then disappeared back behind the curtains. He had to be at least 7 feet tall. Pretty much all I could see of PS was his glowing white hair and goatee.
